All,
An acquaintance of mine while at the Oki-Tex Star Party had a DSLR and
shortish lens located up on a small hill overlooking the observing
field. It was programmed to take an image every few seconds. He got this
one the first night it was operational.

Freaking spectacular and probably an APOD.
Regards
Bill

It looks like Orion has plunged his gleaming sword right into Taurus's
cranium!

Orion's light sabre? Betelgeuse a Jedi? The mind boggles.
