Description

Try as I might, I just could not tame Rigel -the seventh-brightest star in the night sky - in a way that I found visually pleasing, so I finally said "the heck with it" and just let Rigel be what it is...insanely bright!  I think it makes for a wonderfully dynamic composition.  I hope you like it too.
