Explanation:
Orion is rarely seen like this.
To achieve this
majestic vista,
you need a camera capable of taking such
long duration exposures that
faint features
in the night sky become revealed.
Iconic nebulas that appear include the
Orion Nebula, the
Flame Nebula, and
Barnard's Loop.
For contrast, it also helps to have a
volcano on the foreground, in this case the
Teide volcano on
Tenerife on the
Canary Islands
of Spain.
But if you want your
Teide volcano snow-covered,
you also need good timing -- because that only happens,
typically, for a few days each year.
Good timing also includes
waiting for
Orion to appear just
behind Teide,
which occurred late last year after sunset.
The
featured image is the result of a
series of images taken consecutively with the
same camera from the same location.
