Constellations Orion and Canis Major

[prokyon (Werner Probst)]

Hi folks,

yesterday ich tested the Cokin P820 filter using the 50mm lens. Done from my balcony.

So, you my friends from down under, can see, how the constellations look like from Europe.

I like this filter, it makes the bright stars soft.

Regards

Very nice images Werner, yes Orion does look strange upside down

Lovely images and the filter works well. I wish my balcony looked out on a wooded landscape like that. ...and yes, it's definitely the wrong way up.

Nice images, Werner! Strange seeing Canis Major on the horizon instead of overhead.
