OK, it's not that impressive technically and I pretty much just stuck my head out the back door and took a pic, but this weather is making for excellent clear skys, the moon was looking awesome the last couple of days and it's possible to see very clearly constellations, even in polluted city environments.

Here's a pic everyone should recognise.

Let me be the one to make a fool of himself, but is this Orions belt?

My Astronomy skills are matched only by my photography skills.:o
 
yes. That his belt, the 4 stars 'around' it are 'him' and the pointy triangle stars up to the right are his bow. He's a manly alpha hunter type.

(no i'm not an astronomer either, but tis interesting'

Look up the wiki for some cool ass zoomed in pics n stuff.


edit Actually i may be wrong about his bow? I don't know.


this is good : http://amazing-space.stsci.edu/tonights_sky/show.php?month=january&year=2010

seems the 'bow' stars are part of taurus / auriga
