You be the judge!
The four "corner" stars of Orion.
Each image used the same in-camera settings (exposure, contrast, white balance, saturation).
Keep in mind that brightness is exponential. Saiph is 1.5x brighter than Bellatrix.
Rigel is 4x brighter than Bellatrix.
(And some people tell me they can tell that a "Supermoon is 0.3x brighter than normal!!)
You can see Rigel's tiny 8th magnitude companion in this image.
