Image Details:

Pollux and Castor, the two brightest stars of constellation Gemini are glowing middle left, with planet Mars below left of them. The brightest star middle right in this photo is Capella of constellation Auriga, above left of Capella is Menkalinan, also of Auriga. On the Pacific Ocean horizon there are 26 glowing boat lights, I don’t recall seeing this many of them at one time. The 2 Depoe Bay buoy lights (red and white) are visible on left of photo, appearing below the horizon with a very faint boat light between them. What a beautiful evening, hinting of summer, at the Oregon coast!
