Comet Lovejoy in a Winter Sky

This deep exposure of the northern winter sky features several celestial objects. You can find the stars in Orion's belt, the Orion Nebula, the Pleiades star cluster, and bright stars like Betelgeuse and Rigel. Also visible are the California Nebula, Barnard's Loop, and Comet Lovejoy. The belt stars of Orion are nearly vertical, with the lowest obscured by the red glowing Flame Nebula.
