Details:
The Celestial 'G', also known as the Heavenly 'G', is a group of stars referred to as an asterism and is a good way of identifying several bright naked-eye stars in the winter night sky. The asterism starts with Aldebaran in Taurus before moving up to Capella in Auriga. From there it moves to Castor and Pollux in Gemini and then on to Procyon in Canis Minor. The final section starts with Sirius in Canis Major before moving on to Rigel, Bellatrix and finally Betelgeuse in Orion to form the final part of the 'G'. Details: Sony A7S with 14mm lens, 5s exp, 14mm fl, f/2.8, ISO-6400.
