A widefield view of Geminis and Cancer area, including its surroundings. This mosaic is the result of adding 3 single shots through a 18mm lens. There is a light in the background in Geminis that could correspond with Zodiac light, but I am not sure. Under Geminis the Milky Way becomes visible from left to right.

Mars is visible near Praesepe cluster. There are a lot of Messier objects in the field. Auriga has 3 of them. Rosette nebula is also visible near Orion.
