Description

Orion was a must-see during my recent visit to our local astronomy club's a dark sky site. I'm always astonished by how much of a difference a truly dark sky makes to the images. 

There are so many deep sky objects visible. Orion might be the very best constellation for us astrophotographers here in the northern hemisphere. It's definitely my favourite.

EDIT: I had an opportunity to add a few hours of data taken from Bortle 4 location  to this image.
