we all know the Great Orion Nebula is one of the most photographed nebula out there as its one of the few that is visible to the naked eye and is in the most well known constellation .

this was shot with a lens and no telescope as it was piggy backed on my f5 80mm wide field. was having issues all night and knew i should have given up as the clouds came in.
anyways i didn't LOL ISO500, 210mm, F5.3, 10secs, processed in LR then Denoise AI and back through LR to finish, its not the best ive done and not the worst considering he situation

If you look at the three stars that comprise Orion's belt, near this nebula, and follow the line that they suggest, to the left (as seen from the Northern hemisphere) you will see that they point to a particularly bright star. Outside of our own solar system, this star is the brightest thing in the sky, as seen from Earth.

You must never make jokes about that star, nor otherwise treat it lightly or frivolously. It's Sirius.
