...this sorta thing? I'd planned my whole night to see Orion, yes, bit corny but not when your interested. I'm in my attic/loft and checked on stellarium for when I would be able to spot the hunter, its 3:10 now and I just got back from seeing him for about 5 minutes! I thought, bugger it, i'm not gunna' wait much longer, I thought of an idea, I stood up on my other computer chair, opened the angled window and there they was, Betelgeuse, belt, shoulders, legs, Rigel. Aldebaran in the distance, and mars to the left. Couldn't quite see the sword though I was so happy, with the sun behind it as well :)
 
Wait until you see Orion rising from the ocean. It's totally awesome! But, wait there's more ... The Orion Nebula and the Trapezium within, Flame Nebula, the Witch Head Nebula, the Horse Head Nebula and much more await your eager gaze.
 
i haven't see the constellation yet, it's not time for me yet. so, i think i neeed to wait like some months, i guess. i am ready to see the constellation. the orion constellation.
 
Yes, the first time I see either Orion or Scorpio is always always somewhat emotional for me, especially when I see them both in the same "night" like I am now. The season's and weather may vary, but the stars are constant, even the variable ones, like Polaris.
