Description

Captured this image from the West Coast just north of Cape Town - took a 2 hour drive to get away from the city lights, only to be scuppered by fog coming in from the ocean, but in the end I'm not displeased with the result.

Captured using my Canon Digital Rebel on a tripod - no tracking. Stack of twelve 120s exposures.
