Constellation: Orion with Sirius
The constellation of Orion is also known to southern hemisphere observers as The Saucepan. This is because of it's "up side down" orientation in the southern hemisphere.
This image shows Orion with the brightest star in the sky, Sirius, to the right of the field of view.
It's the colour of this image which is spectacular - nice crisp star colour and soft red/pink nebulosity throughout the image.

Constellation: Orion (belt and sword)
This image is a close-up of just Orion's belt and sword (the Saucepan for those in the southern hemisphere).
This image is orientated to suit how it appeared on the night of photography here in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Great Orion Nebula (M42) is clearly visible in this image, with some nice detail in the nebulosity considering the large field of view. Star colour has been preserved using a diffuser.

Emu (the) Constellation
This image shows The Emu, a constellation for lack of a better description. To my knoweldge The Emu was reconised by aboriginal people in Australia. It is a patern of stars and dust stretching through the Milkway area of the night sky.
The Emu is huge, photographed here using a 17mm focal length and still only just fitting within the FOV.
I was experiencing some guiding issues at the time of taking shots of The Emu so ended up just switching it off, so this is unguided.
