Image taken at Perth Observatory Smoke from nearby fire in the atmosphere. Cropped to reduce smoke in left corner (lower Eastern sky). Also see Uncropped version. First attempt to use Canon 50mm EF f/1.8 at f/3.2 lens piggbacked on EQ mount/telescope from Perth Observatory semi-dark skies. May be the smoke from a fire, but disappointed with the flare around Betelgeuse bottom left and Rigel top right. Please to pick out Orion Neb, Horsehead and Flame Neb as well as M78 and a hint of the wider nebulosity in Orion. Baader BCF modified Canon 70D DSLR with Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens @f/3.2, Ambient 10C.
