Camping under the stars.
Here is my campfire image with Orion constellation in Halpha.
Orion is a prominent constellation located on the celestial equator and visible throughout the world. It is one of the oldest and most recognizable constellations, with its three main stars forming a distinctive "belt" shape. These stars are named Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka. The constellation also features several bright stars, including Betelgeuse and Rigel, as well as the Orion Nebula, a bright cloud of gas and dust where new stars are forming. In many cultures, the constellation has been associated with a hunter or warrior. The Babylonians named it "The Heavenly Shepherd" and the ancient Egyptians saw it as a representation of their god of the afterlife, Osiris.
