Description

My first target from the 2017 Connecticut Star Party. Clouds rolled in on the first night and I went to bed early, but woke up around 3am and peeked outside my tent to find crystal clear skies. Despite over 50 people camping with telescopes, I was the only one awake. With Orion rising high in the east, I immediately went after this winter gem. I lost a bunch of frames to tracking errors, but this turned out remarkably well considering most of the image consists of only 18 one minute exposures from a yellow zone.
