I'm Addicted to you Orion

[IVAN TAPIA]

I love to stare at Orion, it has the big red giant betelgeuse, his beautiful belt, a mesmerizing nebula, the elusive HH and watching it hunt across the sky with its loyal dogs Sirius behind him, never get enough that, I get funny looks from neighbors seeing me crossing my yard with my light bucket and hiding under a dark blanket, ill invite them next time and see if they like views, let's keep looking to the sky for that's what human kind was watching a thousand and more years ago ( lucky they,not much LP) Clear skies to all.

Not so sure about inviting the neighbours!

Clear skies to you too.

Cheers

I totally agree. And the addiction changes with a camera since there are some of the largest structures in the sky glowing faintly in Orion. http://ollypenrice.smugmug.com/Other/Best-of-Les-Granges/i-V9SQcqS/0/X3/ORION%2085MM%20LENS%20HaOSC%206%20PANEL-X3.jpg

One of my favourites too, Orion and it's close surrounding area has

so many targets, but as for many people, the Orion Nebular is a great 

favourite of mine, it's one of the first I target, to evaluate the seeing.

Orion is one of my favourites too.

Definitely invite the neighbours to have a look.  I have lived in my house for 20 years and never spoke to anyone until I started taking a big scope outside.  Now most people walk over to say hello and have a look through the scope.  I have had to take a second scope out when I'm imaging so there is something for them to look through.
