Orions Belt. Triple Gems!

[StargeezerTim]

This is my third image from a few nights ago. What a perfect skyscape this is! An artist couldn't arrange a more beautiful scene...

24 X 5 min, iso 1600, 70-300 zoom at 128mm, 100D modded, UHC filter, F5.6. DSS, PS.

Orions belt with the Orion Nebula, Horsehead and Flame, Messier 78 and a small segment of Barnards Loop. 

Hope you enjoy it...

Very Nice.

I tried to view  Orion visually tonight( checking some eyepieces) but street lighting and roof tops prevented a decent view, and boy was it cold -5 earlier?

Great Image Tim.  I love the colours in the nebulae and stars.

Great capture ! This is my next project and if my result comes anywhere near yours I will be a very happy man.

Great image. I think that if you add more data, you can bring out more detail in and near the HH. you already have some detail in there.

And you're absolutely right, I enjoy it.

Thanks for sharing

Hi I'm new to both astronomy and imaging and I'm curious as to how you fit all of Orions in both your eyepiece and images or are they a composition that's merged

Hi Baz, No, I havn't stiched images, this is just the field of view you get when you use a lens at 128mm on a DSLR. If I used a 50mm lens, it would be much wider, I could get the whole constellation and more in view.

Check out the FoV calculator in the FLO links. You can estimate the FoV according to which scope, camera or eyepiece combination you use.

Ahh right this wasn't taken from a scope just a camera,

I see now (no pun intended) 

Thanks for the reply best regards Baz
