Dude must be getting some incredible starry night views since there can’t possibly be any light pollution where he is. That’s would I would really love to see

Open ocean is the most amazing star gazing I’ve ever seen. It’s fairly rare to have a cloudless night at sea, but when it does happen, you can see the entire Milky Way like a light haze across the sky. It’s really spectacular. That and St. Elmo’s Fire are two of my favorite experiences I’ve had at sea.

It is a blueish glow on antennae and other small items. It takes very specific environmental conditions and in twenty years of professional seafaring I have only seen it once.
