Long exposure on the Orion constellation above the old chapel of Languidou (Finistère, France). Orion is located on the celestial equator. The stars above the Orion's Belt draw some concave arcs circling the North celestial Pole while the stars under the Belt draw some convex arcs circling the South celestial Pole.
