I have a real powerful telescope here. Where can I find it in the night sky from Washington State?



Hmm do you know what the constellation Orion in the night sky is? Its gotta be one of the most famous ones, you can see it from pretty much any skies in the winter assuming you have a clear view. Its currently rising in the SE early in evening and is up all night. If you look along his belt, you will see three stars that make up his sword just a bit below his belt, and angled like a sword would be on ones belt. Once you find that, just point your telescope/binoculars to the center star of that belt, and you should be able to see this. Not with anywhere near as much detail and color, in fact it typically looks greenish to the human eye. This is because your eye is most sensitive to the color green.


Heres some info on the consitaltion...
