The winter constellation of Orion has some hidden gems. I took this picture with a wide field telescope in January 2025. It covers the Horsehead nebula and the Orion nebula. The second picture shows where these nebulae are relative to the famous 3 star belt of Orion. #astrophotography #astronomy

Mars emerging from behind the moon. On January 13 the moon passed in front of Mars for about an hour. I took this picture using a 9.25 inch diameter telescope at 2350 mm focal length. You can see the different features on Mars including the polar ice cap on the far left.
