Here is a picture I shot of Orion rising above the mountains
If interested you can find more of my astrophotography work on Instagram
I’m particularly proud of this one because I always wanted to photograph something like this but I only got a few possibilities to do it until now. Indeed the Orion period is mainly during the winter time and here in France it’s clearly not the best time for the weather. Indeed I live in Paris so I have to plan ahead trips to take astrophotography and during winter because of the cold and the clouds sometimes it’s very difficult…
So last weekend I had the chance to plan a session in the south of France at the Cosmodrome Observatory. Despite the cold weather being very good, we didn’t get any clouds. The observatory is perched at the top of the mountain at 1400m, the temperature was -2°c but the feeling was -7°c because of the wind. In those conditions it’s not alway easy to do things well.
For this picture I waited for Orion to be revealed and I shot the landscape where it was then I shot Orion in the sky while it was rising with the equatorial mount. So it’s a composition of two pictures where each is a stack to reduce noise with following settings : Foreground : 10 pics with ISO-4000 - F2.8 - 45 sec Sky : 98 pics with ISO-2500 - F2.8 - 45 sec
Equipement : Canon 6D - Samyang 135mm - Star Adventurer

It’s so incredibly beautiful. Awesome job! The sky was shot at 135 as well? Is this a panorama?
