Description

This image represents one of my favorite targets from the Winter sky. The line from Orion thru the Pleiades, showcases one of the most popular star formations in the skies. Thirty (30) light frames were shot, each at 25 secs at ISO 400 and f/2.0 using a Rokinon 16mm lens on a Canon 70D mounted on an Astrotrac TT320AG unguided. All lights were converted through Camera Raw and calibration, stacking and alignment were done in DSS. Final enhancement and resizing done in PSCC
