These @Night: photos were taken during the Thanksgiving Holidays trip to Cayucos,California (previous post on Cayucos: link).
Here is the reference picture of the constellation Grus which is in the photos below.
lights. Almost full moon was shining above on the right side. Cayucos city lights were behind me. With all these lights, the stars were clearly visible. This photo has many firsts for me:
1) First constellation photo taken over the sea (Pacific).
2) First time I am seeing the constellation Grus
3) The southern most constellation I have photographed (since I had a clear view of the southern horizon)
Reference figure for constellations Piscus Austrinus and Sculptor which are in the next photo.
