Orion Over Dolomites

A photo composite of multiple exposures. From the photographer: “Orion constellation taken above the peaks of Mount Cridola, which is located in the Oltrepiave Dolomites in Italy. I captured the constellation on the evening of 21 February 2025 at 10.15 p.m. local time: the sky was veiled by some light clouds and this allowed me to enhance the brightest stars without using any filter either during the shooting or during post production.”

Technical details:
Sum of four shots tracked of 25-seconds exposure for the sky, focal length 85 mm and one shot of 15 seconds for the Orion nebula, also one 30-second untracked shot for the landscape.
