This image shows you the Orion just risen from the eastern horizon of Pacific ocean. Although the location has some extent of light pollution from a suburban city of Mito, I could detect dimmed wintry Milky Way in that day. The coast is known as an unusual rocky outcrop of the inclined Cretaceous strata.
