Description

When I was child I always get frightened when this constellation raised during an autumn night. Winter was coming and I had an uneasy feeling about human life governed by a sort of destiny that you cannot escape from. Still now as an adult Orion is for me the most stunning constellation.
I have no good opportunity to image it in a proper way. So I did it in a dirty way While I have Bortle 4 sky on the zenith and Nord-East light pollution is a big problem when I point south and also the house and trees keep the exposure time short. Anyway at 49°N this is already not very high in the sky. The filter did a good job but the processing was tough as the light pollution merged with the lower southern part of the constellation. The dark coin in the left lower corner is part of the house roof. Framing was far from evident.
Enjoy ! Hope to switch to the galaxies now.
Greetings Andreas
