The constellation of Orion, in vertical portrait format, with the 50mm Sigma lens at f/2.8 and Canon 60Da camera at ISO 800 for a stack of 4 x 4 minutes plus 2 x 3 minutes with the Kenko Softon filter to add the star glows. Shot from home from my front yard with the Kenko SkyMemo tracker.
The constellation of Orion and its included and surrounding nebulas, taken from Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia, December 13/14, 2012, with Sigma 50mm lens at f/3.2 and the filter-modified Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800 for stack of 6 x 4 minute exposures. Some exposures had light cirrus cloud passing through which added the star glows naturally. I have turned Orion right side up but from Australia Orion would appear upside down -- the part of the frame closest to the horizon when I took this was the top of the frame. Belelgeuse is at upper left, Rigel at lower right.
The northern Milky Way with Orion (centre), Sirius (above), Aldebaran and Taurus (below with Jupiter), in the north sky, as seen from Timor Cottage, Coonabarabran, Australia, December 2012. A single image with an untracked camera, with the Canon 60Da at ISO 3200 and 10-22mm lens at f/3.5.
