This 5 minute long photo of Orion's Belt and Sword was shot on 2005/9/5 at Cherry Springs State Park in Potter County, Pennsylvania, with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel DSLR camera and a borrowed 135mm f/2 Canon EF lens set at f/3.2.  Many nebulae including the Orion Nebula (M42), the Running Man Nebula (NGC 1973-75-77), the Flame Nebula (NGC 2024), and the inner part of Barnard's Loop are visible. With a little effort, the Horsehead Nebula (B33) can be seen in the upper left quadrant.
