Orion is my favourite constellation. For some reason I always relate it to my father who passed away in 2006. Any idea why the double star Meissa at the top end doesn't show up so well on photographs? Betelgeuse and Rigel are obviously far more intense so really pop out at you but I thought Meissa would be bright enough to show clearly. I'm fairly new to star gazing but your work makes me want to go out there and gaze all night, albeit in the northern hemisphere and with Cumbrian clouds to contend with.
