From Saturday night along the Sonoma Coast, Miguel and I dropped into Salt Point as the sky was looking favorable for a clean milky way rise.
These jagged formations of the sedimentary sandstone are further riddled with large and small little pockets, called tafoni.
We arrived just before dark and within 15 minutes, a large wave from my right splashed the right side of my body, glasses, camera, bag, so I was a cold wet rat for the entire rest of the night as temps dropped into the 40's F.
This is an untracked stack of 6 sec frames at ISO 8,000. I blended almost 250 exposures in order to get the nebulosity detail in the sky. Then I used StarNet to reduce/remove some stars.
On this night, the entire milky way was visible across the sky from our position, from horizon to horizon. It was spectacular.
Thanks for looking.
