The large winding constellation of Eridanus the river, at least the major northern section of it near Orion, at top. Eridanus winds from Orion across and down the frame to the lower right. Below Orion itself is Lepus the Hare. This is a stack of 3 x 2-minute exposures with the 35mm lens at f/2.5 and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600, with an additional exposure through the Kenko Softon filter layered in to add the star glows. Taken from Quailway Cottage in Arizona, with the Star Adventurer Mini tracker.
