Orion Rising (in Warp Factor mode)

As for the title...


How about "Orion by no stretch of the imagination".

???

Where did I see that done before? Was it on Spaceweather.com?

Dunno, but its in a couple of textbooks to show the different colour/temperatures of stars in Orion. The colours get much more apparent the more out of focus the stars get.

Thanks for the nice comments by the way.

What gets me is the apparent sucking-in as you look at the picture. It makes it appear there's a central attraction right-centre, but I don't know if I tried it again would I get the same effect. I took a couple of different constellations in the manner of the Orion shot, but none of them showed up this illusion. When I get a clear night again, I will try the same area of sky (hopefully getting to a darker location too, for longer exposure times).

Seanie.
