Risin' Orion

The constellation Orion rises in the southeastern sky as seen from along 30th Street Drive SE just east of Tama Street in Cedar Rapids, Iowa around 2:15 AM on October 8, 1974. This image is a created duotone from an original black and white print. Prominent bright stars in Orion are Betelgeuse (upper left); the belt stars, (upper center) from left: Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka; and Saiph (lower center). The star streak effect was caused by the 5-10 minute exposure.
