The Constellation of Orion (inner)

[Octane (Humayun)]

David,

lol @ Darth Vader's mask. I can see it clearly!

As mentioned on the phone today, the mount was already polar aligned in the roll-off roof observatory. Zane has some really nice toys.

Rod,

Thanks for the kind words.

It is an amazing part of the sky. It just makes you wonder why those stars are in that particular formation, and, why it just so happens that there's a treasure trove of intricate and delicate objects spread throughout.

Ah, Orion, I love you.

Humayun

Narayan,

Thanks, mate!

I'm pretty stoked to have picked up Barnard's Loop considering it's an unmodified camera.
