Nikon D850. 24mm, 8sec, f/2,8, ISO 1600 ( I think 10sec and ISO 2500 might have worked better for the stars, but then foreground will be overexposed. This is a one exposure shot.)
Crop, contrast, labels PS. Sharpen Affinity.
In the darkness before dawn Orion The Hunter rises up the southeastern hills at the Oregon coast. Orion was not visible around May, June and July the Sun being nearby. As the Sun moves eastward and out of the way, Orion will climb higher until it’s visible before dawn in September and evenings in November. Between late December and March The Hunter is best seen from nearly everywhere on Earth.
