Colorful Orion & Sirius
On 03/22/2025 09:34 pm by Howard Cohen | Chiefland, Florida USA
Photograph of Orion and Sirius from Chiefland Astronomy Village, Chiefland, Florida USA on 2025 March 22 at 9:34 p.m. EDT. This location has moderately dark skies so this single, brief exposure (10 sec) shows stars down to almost magnitude +11. In addition, this photo nicely shows color differences of stars with Betelgeuse notably orangy compared with bluish white colors of Rigel and Sirius.
Canon DSLR EOS 5D II with EF 50 mm, f/1.8 Lens.
Exposure 10 sec, f/2.8, ISO 6400.
