A first look at Orion!

[Jimbob]

Well I was feeling rather nocturnal last night and didnt go to my bed until around 4am. so around then I had a look outside with the binos to the south and got my first look at the constellation of Orion! It looks preety damn awesome through the binos and it was the first time I had seen the areas of M42 and M43 I have to say I was thoroughly impressed

Just wait 'til you get M42 in a scope!

One of my favs.

It's great to see things for the first time. Well done.

Orion is also huge as it slowly rises in the east. Ream majestic! I think all of us are really really really looking forward to see the "good old" M42 again; even if we'll get tired of seeing images of it after a couple of months :-)
