Nowhere else in the night sky can you find such a large area full of a vast variety of nebulae and color. Moonless nights are best when attempting to photograph an image like this. Orion is chock-full of colorful nebulae that can't be seen with the naked eye, but can be photographed rather easily using a standard focal length prime lens such as a 45-55mm. If you've ever managed to look up at night during the winter you have probably seen it, as it is hard to miss. This well known constellation is easily found in the winter sky by looking southeast/southwest (depending on the month and time) and looking for the three stars aligned that make up Orion's Belt. Here are four reasons why you should focus more attention to photographing the winter night sky as well. I look forward to the opposite.I look forward to the winter night skies the most. It is a giant mass of gas, dust, stars, and color detail that the naked eye cannot render the way a camera sensor can. Many astro-photographers look forward to the summer night skies when attempting to photographing the Milky Way and I can understand why. There are much longer exposures, image stacking, iso variants, lens variants, and you need a clear sky with perhaps no moon to achieve a good starry image. I am no expert, but for me, photographing the night sky is a challenge because the process is very different than what you would do in photographing a sunrise or sunset or maybe a mountain vista.
