Orions belt and sword


Recommended Posts

One of my favorite areas in the night sky, the Orion Constellation. This is the lower half of the constellation showing the Orion belt and the sword. The halo effect around the brightest stars is due to some mist in the air at the moment I took the picture. This halo effect also caused the difference in star colors to be more prominent which I think is very interesting to see.

Derek - I'm easily pleased, ha ha ha.

BTW, reciprocal regards to Annette, but please tell her next time I walk past your van and catch such wonderful cooking aromas as were floating through the air at Kielder I'm going to invent a problem with my caravan, come and ask you for help, and then look miserable and feeble until she offers to feed me :blob10::blob6:
