Orion and his Dog Stars, Sirius (bottom) and Procyon (left), in Canis Major and Canis Minor. Many red nebulas are also visible in this area of the northern winter Milky Way, as well as star clusters such as M41 below Sirius, and M50 at far left. The Orion Nebula, M42, is below the Belt of Orion in Orion’s Sword. Betelgeuse, Procyon and Sirius form the “Winter Triangle.” This is a stack of 5 x 5 minute exposures at and ISO 800 with the 35mm lens and filter-modified Canon 5D MkII, plus 2 x exposures at ISO 1600 with the Kenko Softon filter for added star glows. However, haze this night added natural star glows. Taken from Quailway Cottage near Portal, Arizona, December 5, 2015.
