Dawn of Orion [Explored]

September is a great month for astrophotography, as both the Milky Way core and the Orion section are visible in a single night. This year, I went to Mt. Säntis to capture the sight.

 

This image shows the Winter Milky Way with Orion rising above the already snow covered Alpstein range and the mountain guesthouse Alter Säntis, where my bed stayed untouched until the early morning hours.

 

Some landscape astrophotographers still think that the Winter Milky Way is the 'bad side' and that it is not possible or worth shooting it. I guess this image nicely proves them wrong.
