Orion Rising - a photo on Flickriver

Orion Rising

The Milky Way "core" season is over until next spring, but that does not mean that there is nothing to be seen in the skies.

This image of the Winter Milky Way was taken while flying over Poland at 37'000 ft and shows the winter constellation Orion rising on the western horizon.

Higher in the sky is Taurus with the open star clusters Hyades and Pleiades.

The red nebula at the upper edge of the frame is called California Nebula.

The Pleiades / California Nebula pair can also bee seen in one of my ground based image: flic.kr/p/BJHR9v

Astro-modified Canon 6D
Samyang 24mm f/1.4
Single exposure of 10s @ ISO6400

Thanks for all your thoughts and faves. They are highly appreciated.
