Finally got a clear sky, and tried shooting some night sky photos  
with the Noctilux and M8.  Here is one of the Orion constellation.  I  
got it near the horizon.

M8, Noctilux f/1.0, ISO 160, 1 sec.

I used a low ISO so that the noise would be low.

Interesting, you can see the coma in the far field on the bright star  
in the shoulder area.

You can make out the nebula in the sword.

Hope you like it!
