Milky Way (24mm), Bodie Island, NC - 15Feb24 (In Explore)

            The weather has not cooperated this month, lots of clouds and wind so far. I saw a break and took the day off from work so I could take the short ride down to the Bodie Island Lighthouse for a quick Milky Way shoot. Conditions were pretty good, but I had a short window to photograph, the sun was just under the horizon and Venus was rising. I managed to take 15 sky shots in between the light flashing, but I could only use 12 due to a car in the parking lot with their foot on the brake. Red light is intrusive. Stacked the sky in Sequator and brought that together in photoshop with the foreground.
