The Belt of Orion or the Belt of Orion is an asterism in the constellation Orion. It contains three bright stars Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka.

The Orion Belt is easy to find in the night sky, as it is located on the celestial equator and is part of one of the most prominent stellar patterns in the northern sky, the hourglass-shaped constellation Orion. The asterism and constellation are visible in the northern latitudes from November to February.

This is an image made with an Epsilon 180 ed telescope, on an Atlas mount, Orion, PHP guidance system and a Canon EOS Ra camera.

Data acquisition is 120 images of 60 seconds, plus Bias, Darks and Flats.
