The trained eye may recognize this constellation as Orion. Seen from my backyard, as usual... Wink

Wow.

I miss being able to look at the nebulae hanging from his belt with my 'scope... Newark wastes a lot of light. Angry

Stargazing out my way is very rewarding. Lots of fun with a thermos of coffee around 2am. Tongue

Great photo too, Kris. I too, need to pick up a tripod. I lost the mount to my current one. Roll Eyes

One word... WalMart. You can get a decent one for about 20-30 bucks.

Excellent shot Omag. Smiley

Excellent!

Good ol' Orion is much clearer up at my neck of the woods...

Much bigger looking too!

Although, personal view and what the camera sees are two different things Wink

Unfortunatly no sun, but light pollution... there was a bit of fog on the ground and that sure collected the light from a city nearby...

exif:

iso 800
f 4.0
exposure 8 seconds
focal length 32 mm

Followed by noisereduction and brightness reduction to bring Orion out more, as it was engulfed in lots of other stars.
