Origins

This is my entry for the Three Muses challenge this week (Stars). My digital collage depicts a star map with the constellation Monoceros amidst the swirl of the cosmos. Multi layers of backgrounds blended and digitally painted with levels of opacity reduced. Pin light filters to finish the effect in Photoshop. I love the old vintage star maps and I do love to try and find the different constellations on dark , clear nights but it can be very difficult to find some of the lesser known ones like the one shown here. I'll keep trying though!
