Orion

Orion photographed under suboptimal conditions. It was relatively low over the horizon, there was haze, thin clouds, and light pollution. But I like the glow it gave the bright stars. The Orion Nebula (M42 and M43), the Running Man Nebula (S279) the Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) and the Horsehead Nebula (B33 and IC 434) are visible. Especially the latter surprised me, although there is just a long red blob with a small black blob visible.

I chose too long an exposure time for pixel peeping, so please ignore the oblong stars.

Image created from 99x10s exposures (16 minutes, 30 seconds) with #Siril, #GraXpert and #GIMP.

An image of the starry night sky focused on eight bright stars forming the Orion constellation. The top-left star is yellow, while the others are blue. Many more stars are visible, as well as the Orion Nebula, which is a small white blob in the lower center of the constellation.

An image of the starry night sky focused on eight bright stars forming the Orion constellation. To better see the constellation, the stars are connected with green lines, forming something like a torso. The stars are all named: Betelgeuse, Rigel, Bellatrix, and Saiph form the torso; Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka form the belt; and Meissa is the head.

The yellow Flame Nebula and the black-on-red Horsehead Nebula are barely visible. The bluish Running Man Nebula is also very faint, but the bright reddish Orion Nebula is clearly distinguishable.

Happy birthday to #astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt (1868-1921) who set the scale of our Universe. My portrait of Leavitt is printed in silvery lavender ink on Japanese kozo (or mulberry paper). Behind her is a line showing stellar luminosity (capital L with subscript sun-symbol, a circle with a dot) as a function of time (t). She is printed over constellations in gold (Cepheus, Cassiopeia, Draco, 🧵
