Description

The famous constellation of Orion, filled with well-known Deep Sky Objects like the Great Orion Nebula M 42, the Running Man, the Horsehead Nebula, the Flame Nebula, M 78, Barnard's Loop...

It is my first image using my Canon EOS 60D DSLR and the Canon 50mm/1.8 lens, stopped down to f/2.8 to improve star shapes in the corners. The relatively low red sensitivity of the non-modified sensor doesn't help with the faint H-Alpha regions there, but I'm quite happy with the result.
