Skies were clear on October 7th,  prompting some of our talented photographers to try to capture the night sky, the Milky Way being one of their main goals. Paula Power found an anomaly in the sky Sunday night. She wrote, “Our photo group [the North Coast Photographers Group] got together to do some night sky images. While waiting in the parking lot at Shell Beach, we saw this spacecraft appear in the sky about 7:30 pm.

We couldn’t figure out what it was! It had a plasma-like cloud around it. It hovered and slowly moved northwest, and then suddenly kind of disappeared. We joked about UFOs, and then I read about the SpaceX launch!”

Pretty wonderful sighting! Thanks to Paula for allowing me to share it with you.  To learn more about the North Coast Photographers Group, here is the link: http://gualalaarts.org/interest-groups/north-coast-photographers-group/All photographers are welcome!

Craig Tooley, a frequent contributor to this blog, is curating the exhibit of the North Coast Photographers Group. The grand opening is tomorrow at 5 pm at the Dolphin Gallery in Gualala. Craig says, "The exhibit photos consist primarily of nature photographs taken along the majestic Northern California coast. Don't miss it!"

Here are a few of Craig's photos. I don't know if any of these will be in the exhibit but I thought you'd enjoy seeing them here. Below is a Northern Flicker.

 And here is a very young Fox Kit.

 And here is a House Finch giving you a wave.

Good luck to Craig and the rest of the photography group. They sure have some awesome material to work with here on the Mendonoma Coast.
