Half Sky: Orion & Retinue

About this image

A cloudy skies exercise in the absence of recent entirely clear moonless skies. A past whole sky fish eye has been converted into a half sky image using Photoshop add-on Flaming Pear>Flexify2 to do the geometry. Some colour enhancement. Note Jupiter in the West is nearly in the same position as present. How a Jupiter "year" has flown by!
