Winter's Orion Rising

Hi again, along with the moon-mercury conjunction, I also had a chance to capture a shot of Orion rising over the fog covered lake that I drove to to get this widefield shot. It was a stunning sight, so clear, crisp, and those winter stars are so much brighter Twighlight was underway, I actually think it was a more pleasant sight than in winter itself. Beautiful........

Details: Canon 300D, 18mm lens at f3.5, 19 second exposure ISO 400

Fabulous Keith,
Funilly enough, only yesterday I ran starry night and had a time for the early morning and saw on it that orion is on the way back. nice coinsidence.

Yep - it was cold too, it won't be long until we've got many hours of darkness to play around with. If you look at the bottom of the shot, you can see the fog over the lake, gives that 'cold' feeling about it

Clear Skies,
Keith

Nice shot keith

I was tempted to take one myself this morning but alas got clouded out before it had risen enough.

Later,

Jed.
