The Orion Constellation has been recognized since antiquity. In classic literature, Orion was a hunter who was placed in the heavens opposite Scorpius--the lowly insect that stung and killed the mighty hunter. Orion is easily recognized even in city skies by his three star belt and his sword. It is treasure trove for deep sky lovers! Canon 10D 75-300mm, Summit County, Jan 2004.
