Orion

I was one of those people who stayed up to witness the Orionid Meteors. A meteor shower cause by earth passing through the debris of Halley's Comet tail. I tried to catch a shooting star in one of my exposures but alas without success.
As you can see, I have both the wrong camera and the wrong lens but I have captured the Hunter with his famous belt called Orion. I believe the colour of the stars is determined by their distance from earth. So, though we see the constelation as the Hunter, if it were viewed from a different angle in space it would look quite different.
