Description

This was a tough one. Iota Orionis is .. bright (+2,7 mag) and there's literally no free background sky as the entire frame is filled with bellowing clouds from the Orion molecular cloud complex. Framing was also very difficult as none of the orientations I tried didn't really feel natural. But in the end I think the end result is very nice!
