NEWS: Best ever image of Orion

There is a TV program here in the UK called ‘star gazinglive’ it’s presented by an astronomer and a comedian and its one of the best things on.  Seriously, if you get a chance you should check it out.  Anyway they have recently ran a feature whereby they got people to take pictures of the constellation Orion on their camera phones, they would then take all of these images and make a single image out of the hundreds of images that they received.  The final image is amazing and you can see the high resolution version here. If you look closely you can see the horsehead nebula, now remember that these where not taken with a telescope. 

hundreds of images, condensed into one beautiful picture
