Description

This is a wide field image of the Orion constellation taken through the last month.

This is one of the most famous constellation in the night sky and can be seen in the winter in the southern skies.

In the image you can see the body of Orion and the famous Orion belt. The area is full of famous nebulaes like Orion nebula, horsehead nebula and Barnard's loop. The nebulas are red due to ionized Hydrogen gas which is excited and emit light in this wavelength. 

 was taken from my home near Jerusalem over the last month in bortle 6.
