1-22-2023 Star Trail at Bodie Island Lighthouse. This is 305 - 30 second exposures stacked on top of each other. The images total just over 3 hours of time and shows the earths rotation during that period of time. These are always combersome to edit but I like how this one has come out so far. The little zig zag pattern showing up to the right of the lighthouse building are from star link satelites whizzing by low on the horizon.

On this date, in 1912, the Hatteras Weather Bureau Station picked up the following message around 11:25pm:

"CQD CQD CQD CQD CQD CQD. Have struck an iceberg. We are badly damaged. Titanic. position 41 degrees 44 minutes north 50 degrees 20 minutes west.'"

Hatteras is the only known wireless station in the United States to have received the first distress call from the RMS Titanic. Record of this transmission was lost to history for almost 100 years, and was only discovered in 2009 during a restoration project when it was found rolled up in a wall as insulation.

The Hatteras Weather Bureau Station, built in 1901, is open to visitation Wednesday-Sunday 8am-430pm. More information on the Weather Bureau Station: https://www.nps.gov/caha/planyourvisit/uswbs.htm
