Photos #1 and #2: Venus and Mars will be passing by or through (respectively) the Beehive cluster within the next two weeks, but it's supposed to be cloudy here. Quite a few clouds tonight too, as you can see, but I figured I'd better utilize the opportunity to get the planets on their approaches to the cluster while I could. A bonus tonight is the passage of the ISS through the area. It took 2 minutes to cross the FOV. Labeled and unlabeled versions. Photo #3 is a wide view taken shortly afterwards. The 82% waxing gibbous Moon at the meridian lights the foreground.
