This 10-minute exposure was taken on January 19, 2001 at my home in Colfax, CA. The Crab, Cancer, is represented within this star field. It has the distinction of being the dimmest of the 12 zodiacal constellations. M44, also known as both the Beehive Cluster and Praesepe, is visible in the center.
