Description

This is an ultrawide field of view of the winter Milky Way that includes the Orion constellation, Taurus, Monoceros, Gemini and parts of Auriga constellations. You can clearly see the Barnard's loop around the mighty Orion (bottom center) and the Pleiades on the top right. The Monoceros is also home to the Rosette Nebula which can be seen here (see the annotated version above).
