Orion and the winter stars and constellations in a moonlit sky, on a chilly (-20°C) winter night on January 28, 2023. Above Orion is Aldebaran and the Hyades star cluster in Taurus. Below Orion is Sirius in Canis Major. The red giant Betelgeuse and the blue giant Rigel stand out nicely above and below the Belt. Light from the first quarter Moon off frame illuminates the landscape. This serves as a good illustration of how the Belt stars in Orion point up to Aldebaran and down to Sirius. This is a stack of 2 x 30-second exposures for the sky with the camera tracking the sky, blended with a stack of 3 x 30-second untracked exposures for the ground. All with the Canon RF28-70mm lens at 28mm and f/2.8 and Canon R5 at ISO 200. A tracked exposure through the Alyn Wallace/Kase StarGlow filter added the star glows, and for artistic effect I also added diffraction spikes on the stars with the AstronomyTools actions. A mild Orton glow added with Luminar Neo.
