Orion

[Scooot]

I had a surprise short period of cloud free skies last night, so I captured Orion with my 50mm as it just fits  

Its 26minutes of 1 minute exposures with my Canon 450D at F4 with an old Ashahi Takuma 50mm F1.8 at F4 ISO400 on the Srar Adventurer. 

Orion was setting so I had the huge light dome from the London area not far below, depending on your monitor it’s still visible slightly bottom right.

That's lovely.  You've captured M42 very nicely.
