Plant Bowen Starscape

“Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.“

– Theodore Roosevelt

I shot this last night. As I waited for the sky to darken a huge cloud bank rolled in and quickly covered the sky. I had hoped to see Comet Neowise last night but did not see it until I looked at my images on the computer. In this shot Neowise is barely visible and is located straight above the 2nd smokestack counting from the left.
Love how the clouds reflect the moonlight. The blues of the sky and the golds from the setting sun and Plant Bowen contrast well.

Wonderful capture, KV! I can see the clouds moving in and some stars are visible.

Glad you found the motivation to go out and capture a sunset. It’s a beauty. Pretty with the horizon color changes.

Well done for making smokestacks interesting.

It’s a nice shot with those smokestacks

How frustrating that NEOWISE was so faint, but it's a beautiful image despite that. I had the same experience when I tried to photograph from here -- so light and faint that I could barely see it.

Great storytelling capture. So we have too many scattering lights to make interesting sky observations.

@k9photo thanks Kate... it was nice to see the stars.

@marlboromaam Those clouds rolled in so fast... it was very interesting.

@dutchothotmailcom It takes a lot to get me out at night... wish I was motivated to do this more often... thanks for the kind words.

@wakelys @craftymeg I used to think this was a nuclear plant... it isn't... it is a coal burning plant... I like the shape of the smokestacks and watching the smoke rise/blow around.

@pdulis @bubblequeen @theredcamera @365karly1 @thewatersphotos @taffy Wow... thanks so much for the kind words... even though I didn't get the exact results I wanted and I was disappointed about the clouds coming in so quickly I was happy to be our shooting... other than all the mosquitos who were biting my ankles! Even though I didn't see Neowise until I spotted it in my photos (very faint but visible) I was excited about that. I remember seeing Hale Bopp in 1995.
