Description

Orion, the winter king of the sky!
The beauty of this constellation is undebated! This picture reveals only some of the gems in the constellation.
The Great Orion Nebula and the Flame nebula are the white protagonists in the center, the complex of the horse head nebula shows up in red under the Orion's Belt and the Barnard loop goes throughout the entire picture.
Very faint, at the right bottom corner, is the Witch Head Nebula. At the center top is the bright orange color of Betelgeuse.
