Looking NE around 10:00 last night

A group of us were making a weekend of it in Port Rexton which is in
the part of Trinity Bay my ancestors settled 350 years ago. The
island you can see here on the horizon, Fox Island, was where one of
my ancestors is said (by oral tradition, if not by documented history)
to have been hurled over a cliff to his death. That would have been
around 1700 (if it actually happened). Fox Island is about two km
away from where I set the camera to take this picture last night at 10
o'clock or so. The camera sat on the railing of the deck that runs
around the house we had for the weekend.

I took a half dozen sky shots in that fashion. I got a recogniseable
picture of Andromeda in one (that was just above the area in this
picture, above the right corner), and a recogniseable one of the Seven
Sisters, the Pleiades, in another. The Pleiades are just barely to the
left of this shot, hardly even outside the frame, perhaps even just
hidden in the wisps of fog. To get the Andromeda shot, I had to angle
the camera up by leaning it against my wallet.

All that light in the foreground is lamplight from the window.
