uberdada Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 red dot in orion | Flickr - Photo Sharing!orion_closeup | Flickr - Photo Sharing!I took this photo last Friday of Orion, but only got round to looking at it properly today. The picture is a 30 second exposure taken with a Canon EOS 500D and is not very well focused and quite shaky - not a great picture... However, I noticed a surprisingly clear very small, but very bright dot of light. It wasn't on any other photos I took. Doesn't look like a camera fault to me. I rule out any sort of aviation or light reflecting off insects which would leave streaks on such a long exposure...Any ideas what it could be? Is it something interesting?(sorry, don't seem to be able to put image in post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
