About this image

Sometimes interesting things happen when things go wrong. This was meant to be a view of the winter night sky, but it came out very blurred, I suspect because the camera was on portrait mode. What it does do, however, is to show the colours of the stars very effectively, with the orange of Betelgeuse contrasting with the white of Sirius.
