Description:

Panorama: Sky 6 panels 3x75s F2.5 ISO2000 | 1x Cokin P830 Ha 4 panels 2x180s F1.2 ISO2000 FG 2 rows of 6 F2.5 135s ISO 2000 Ever since I started my astro journey my goal has always been to photograph Orion and its gases. And this is it, my first Orion photo! This is a very special constellation in my family. As kids growing up in Brazil, my brother and I used to look for the Orion’s Belt constantly, one of the few stars we could identify. We call it As Três Marias in Portuguese (The Three Marys). As a bonus I aimed to include Matariki (Pleiades, as it's called here in New Zealand) appear on the left side, and the Gum Nebula on the right side. This was taken on a very peaceful night in Coromandel.
