Orion over "Starry Nights"
Orion was framed in this shot as I started the star trails. Betelgeuse is the reddish star near the top that stars about 1/3 of the way over. The three "belt stars" start below that, and then Rigel. Sirius the dog star, and brightest star in the sky, starts near the mid-left edge of the frame.
This shot is a bit overexposed at f8 using my Olympus 2n camera and Olympus 21mm lens. It was exposed for close to 8 hours. Fuji SHQ 200 film.
