Orion

Probably the most beautiful winter constellation -- Orion -- in the evening on 1 February 2016 during a short period of clear sky. A constellation art is taken from Jan Heweliusz’s Uranographia.
Great Orion Nebula is seen near sword hilt. A bright star on the down-left is Sirius (the brightest star in the sky).

The original picture is shown below.

Canon EOS 600D + Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II; exposure 10s; f/3.5; ISO=1600.
Kyiv (Osokorky).
