I choose a 15mm semi-fisheye lens for a wide sweep of sky. The semi-fisheye lens has a 180 degree angle of view from corner to diagonal corner and causes curvature of straight lines that don&#8217;t run through the center of the frame (bowing the horizon in this photo). A 15mm semi-fisheye lens has a lot of depth of field so I could use a fairly wide aperture.  I set the ISO at 400 to get a shutter speed of 32 seconds to minimize trailing of the stars.<\/p>\n<p>The constellation Orion is in the middle of the largest cloud. Sirius, the &#8220;Dog Star&#8221; (in the constellation Canis Major), is below and to the left of Orion and just to the left of the largest cloud. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky.<\/p>\n<p><em>Data: Canon 5D camera, Canon 15mm lens.
