A panorama of the northern summer sky on an early July night from latitude 51° N with the sky blue with perpetual twilight all night. The Big Dipper is at upper left, Polaris is at upper centre (due north), and Cassiopeia is at right. Andromeda is rising at lower right. Capella is due north just above the horizon. The waxing Moon is setting at lower left. This was from Crawling Lake in southern Alberta, Canada, at midnight daylight time on July 5/6, 2022. It is a stitch of 8 segments, each 30 seconds untracked, with the RF15-35mm lens at f/2.8, with the Canon R5 at ISO 400 and in portrait orientation. Stitched with some effort with PTGui. Another panorama taken later up the road made of 12 segments to cover a wider scene but looking over more of the water refused to stitch.
A close-up panorama of a display of noctilucent clouds on the night of July 2-3, 2022 from home in southern Alberta. The bright sunlit NLCs in the high mesosphere contrast with the dark nearby and lower tropospheric clouds. This is looking north at about midnight local daylight time. This is a panorama of 4 segments, each 15 seconds at f/4 with the RF24-105mm lens at 80mm, and Canon R5 at ISO 400. There are wider versions of this same scene taken at shorter focal lengths to show the NLCs in context with the wider scene. This version shows the NLC's rippling wave-like structure.

The bright sunlit NLCs in the high mesosphere contrast with the dark nearby and lower tropospheric clouds. This is looking north at about midnight local daylight time. This is a panorama cropped from 8 segments, each 15 seconds at f/4 with the RF24-105mm lens at 65mm, and Canon R5 at ISO 400. Stitched with Adobe Camera Raw. There are close-up (80mm lens) and wider-angle (35mm lens) versions of this same scene.
