astrosurf.com— Most people can identify the belt, but what about all the other stars that make up this constellation of Orion the Hunter?

Yes, I know that. The process isn't just clicking 3 buttons in Photoshop and it's done. I've dabbled in astrophotography and met with people at Star Parties who do it as a full-time hobby. It's incredibly complex, not to mention expensive. Astrophotography is a money pit. There's always a better camera, better mount, better auto-guide camera and scope, etc. Post processing done on the pictures is only the last stretch. Capturing images that can be used is a whole other story.
I'm confused too, they never mentioned anything about the belt not having stars, but they did say it didn't have any galaxies as stated above. Rizmaster is wrong.

No, they are nebulas within our galaxy. Gas clouds or ruptured stars.(Galaxies have billion or trillions of stars, dwarf galaxies in the millions)

Do you mean the Pacific Island, or the alien humanoid species?Actually, it was meant as a strong statement against people being anal over typos.
