| Orion's Belt and sword (including M42) |
This image of Orion's Belt is made up of 129 subs, 25 darks, and 25 bias frames stacked in Deep Sky Stacker (DSS). Each frame was taken at 130mm, f/4.5, 2 sec, ISO 1600 with a Canon Rebel XT on fixed tripod.

As you can see, the three stars that make up the sword are actually a whole mess of stars and nebulous gas clouds that only appear to be 3-4 individual stars to the naked eye in moderate viewing conditions.
Update 3/18/2013: I uploaded this image to Astrometry.net and it was able to tag a LOT more objects in my field of view! Wow, what a cool service!
