Description

Over the weekend, I spent the night on a bluff on Oregon's coast so I could take advantage of the dark skies and photograph a few different targets. One capture I've always wanted is Orion over the ocean. Unfortunately, although I brought a wedge to adjust my camera and allow me to shoot level shots, it required a small adapter screw that I did not bring. So, I had to deal with the angle of the scope when I captured this. However, despite the thin clouds and tilt, the stars were shining bright, and Orion was clearly visible above the water.
