From my backyard in Rouse Hill, Australia, Jupiter sits to the right, while to the left is half of the upside-down Orion the Hunter, showing the Hunter’s Belt and Orion Nebula positioned to its north. The Hunter's head is partially blocked by my next-door neighbour’s rooftop, so I cropped it out.

From my backyard in Rouse Hill, Australia, Jupiter sits to the right, while to the left is half of the upside-down Orion the Hunter, showing the Hunter’s Belt and Orion Nebula positioned to its north. The Hunter’s head is partially blocked by my next-door neighbour’s rooftop, so I cropped it out.


This is the southern hemisphere view, where the sky appears rotated 180 degrees. Missing from Orion are Betelgeuse, Meissa, and Bellatrix, while the belt, viewed from the left, consists of Mintaka, Alnilam, and Alnitak.

Camera: Canon EOS 6D

Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM

Date taken: 30/12/25 11.32 pm

Edited in Lightroom Classic with a careful boost in contrast for added depth, enhanced dehaze and clarity to improve separation and texture, subtle noise reduction to tidy up the image, and gentle sharpening to highlight fine details without going overboard.

    On upper right it is Sirius (right above Orion of which the southern (upper) half is shown). The image is not flipped.
    Jupiter should be outside the bottom right corner of the image.
