Wide-Angle Winter Sky (March 1, 2013)

A wide view of the winter sky and constellations around Orion, from my backyard, March 1, 2013, on a nice clear and mild night. Jupiter is above Aldebaran at right. This was a test shot with the Samyang 14mm ultra-wide lens, at f/2.8, with the Canon 5D MkII. A stack of 5 x 5 minute exposures at ISO 800, with the landscape from two exposures. EXIF data says 50mm lens but the Samyang is manual only and does not send focal length and aperture info to the camera.
