Orion Rising

Another image of winter Mikly Way and the beautiful constellation Orion, tanken from another Swiss Alpine Pass. This one was taken on Sattelegg.

 

The red nebulas in Orion, Barnards Loop and, to the left of it, Rosetta Nebula (C 49) are clearly visible in the lower parts of the image. Higher in the sky, you can see the open clusters Hyades and Pleiades in Taurus. The red California Nebula (NGC 1499) is visible in the upper center.
