Orion is one of the easiest constellations to find and, luckily for me, appears in the southwest sky which is the direction my windows face.
I was never able to capture the whole constellation in the frame but I could get the major stars and "objects" such as Orion's belt and sword.
You will need to click on the images to enlarge them. Hopefully you have a touch screen or other way to further enlarge the first photo. The four outer stars from upper left clockwise to lower left are: Betelgeuse, Bellatrix, Rigel, and Saiph. The inner stars can be seen better in the second and third photos.
