Description

This is what I was hoping for when imaging last night. Really happy with everything about this image. Could it be better...? I'm sure it could, it's just limited by my current level of processing skills. The Samyang 135mm F/2 camera lens is a beast for wide field astrophotography. Hopefully Facebook won't over compress the image and screw it up. Anyway....as always, wanted to share.

The belt and sword area of the constellation of Orion. Captured last night from my driveway.
