I wanted to capture the Orion and Taurus constellation both separately with a 50mm but due to shortage of time during my visit to bortle 1 skies of Bela Balochistan last month, I decided to shoot them together in the same frame with a 24mm and I am glad that I captured enough exposure time which allowed me to bring out the best possible results.
Here is a frame full of dark nebulae of Taurus molecular cloud complex, reflection nebulae including the Pleaides itself, the witch head nebula near the Rigel star of Orion constellation and the Barnard loop along with the lamda Orionis the round shaped reddish structure just over Betelgeuse. And last but not the least rosette nebula just at the bottom of the frame. I hope you guys would like the frame and cherish the hidden jewels of the winter constellations of our night sky.
