Orion

Photo of part of constellation Orion with a Canon T1i with a telephoto lens piggybacked on top of my telescope. This is a stack of 20 pictures, each of them was a 30 second exposure. You can see 2 of the stars of Orion's belt at the top and the sword pointing down at the bottom with Orion Nebula (M42) in the middle of the sword. You can even catch faint "Flame Nebula" (NGC 2024) in the top center next to the left most star of the belt and "Running Man Nebula" NGC 1977 right above M42.
