The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. Also known as M42, it is one of the brightest Nebula and is visible with the naked eye.
Shot using a Williams Optics Z73 , ZWO Asi 533mc Pro , Optolong L-pro filter.
A CN SD40-2W, a personal favorite of mine leads a southbound loaded ore train into Culver, Minnesota as the hot ore pellets steam in the cold winter weather.
It was really starting to cloud over making the stars less visible. Oh well, it was a fun night even though my toes were freezing.
2 Nébuleuses visibles, deux presque détectables...
Ciel pollué (et surtout trop humide) à l'horizon.
Pas de guidage, une seule prise.
The small line of stars you can see in the middle of the photo is the Orion belt, The photo has been taken in the Maldives Islands where the light pollution is reduced at its maximum
A loaded ore train returns to Braddock, Pa as seen from the famous Westinghouse bridge.
This shot is a result of an effort to include railfanning with my trucking career resulting in finding a convenient parking spot for my layover about a ten minute walk from this location.
An ore train dumps on Dock 6 while limestone loads with 2449 head up the ramp from Missabe Junction to Collingwood.
Nebulas in Orion, a first attempt. A few things to fix, but I still enjoy the result!
Happy New Year!
Peace and Cheers!

Orion is getting higher in the sky at the moment, so this is an early non HDR edit, more data will hopefully be added to this over summer. 135mm Sigma at f/2, D810A, 600 second subs, processed in APP and Photoshop.
Union Pacific SD40-2 “snoot” No. 3249 pulls a train of 100-ton iron ore hoppers through Spanish Fork, Utah the morning of Feb. 21, 1988. The OGVCM originated at Geneva Steel and will reload at Comstock on the Iron Mountain Branch west of Cedar City, Utah.
I can always find Orion when I look up and it's above the horizon. Since the dawn of man, we have looked up at the sky at night and found patterns, whether they're there or not.
Darwin Deez has a great song about this, "Constellations". (He uses our tendency to assign connections to things that aren't connected as a metaphor for difficulty humans have connecting with each other.)
[Verse 1]
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
There’s a million little lights
When the sky turns black tonight
Are there patterns in our skies?
Are patterns only in our eyes?
[Chorus]
Or is a constellation just a constellation?
Is a constellation just a consolation?
[Verse 2]
Wrinkle, wrinkle, little scar
Count the freckles on my arm
If freckles don’t mean anything
Does anything mean anything?
[Chorus]
Or is a constellation just a constellation?
Is a constellation just a consolation?
[Bridge]
We are twinkling stars
Resurrected
Just like twinkling stars
We seem connected
But I know
[Chorus]
That a constellation is just a constellation
Constellation is just a consolation
Constellation is just a consolation
There's a great video for the song at www.youtube.com/watch?v=37sKI7d7-xA
First Orion and first interaction with Pixinsight, this programme is a whole new level!
Shooting in -12 degreec C didn't turn out to be easy, though clear sky and long nights are a big opportunity for good shots.

Thank you all for visits, faves and comments.
An ore wagon at Bodie, California. Bodie is a former gold mining town east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range and north of Mono Lake. It once had a population of about 10,000. Only about 5 percent of the town remains. It became a California State Historic Park in 1962 and is maintained in a state of "arrested decay".
If you see closely at the stars in Orion's Belt this is what they look like
Well at least for me
A guy pulling a heart
How cool isn't that
Love is in the air :D
I obviously had a nice night walk in the moonshine this evening, except for Aiko pulling the leash every time I should shoot
No wonder there is a man in the moon, lol
A beautiful evening sky last night! Shot with my Canon 7D and a 50mm 1.8. Applied a Star Spikes filter in PS after the fact. In the future I'm going to play around with fog filters when shooting stars to get a better approximation of what the human eye sees!

A lucky opening in the clouds illuminates a loaded all-rail train beginning its decent on Steelton Hill. This train loaded at Minntac on the DM&IR and was headed for U.S. Steel's Fairfield mill near Birmingham, Alabama. That mill has since closed its blast furnace, this ending moves of ore from Minnesota to Birmingham.
I thought I could have another go at the Orion Nebula and the Horsehead Nebula as in the moring it is getting high enough to photograph over the roof in the bck yard. After getting my framing and starting a planned sequence it went wrong straight away as the targets started to move behind a satellite dish. And when I checked my shots later, everthing from the other camera was out of focus (must remember the Canon 300mm f2.8 shifts focus when the orientation is changed!) So I only had one useable 12 minute exposure from the D810A and 300mm lens. This is cropped for framing but also to remove the satellite dish! Yes, I know the bright part of Orion is overexposed, but I actually like this look.
