A 270° panorama from southwest to northeast taking in the full sweep of the auroral arcs this night, January 29, 2017 at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, on the shore of Hudson Bay in Churchill, Manitoba. Sirius and Orion are at far left. The Pleiades is over CNSC. Arcturus is at far right. A lone aurora observer stands at left. Someone is also on the second floor deck. A bit of an isolated arc is at right to the east. This is a stitch of 11 segments, each 10 seconds at f/2 with the Sigma 20mm Art lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 3200. Stitched with Adobe Camera Raw.

The autumn stars of the watery constellations of Capricornus, Aquarius, Piscis Austrinus, and Cetus over the Athabasca River and the peaks of the Continental Divide, from the Athabasca River Viewpoint (the “Goats and Glaciers” viewpoint) on the Icefields Parkway, Jasper National Park, Alberta. Illumination is from starlight. Thin cloud provides the natural glows around the stars. This is a stack of 8 exposures for the ground, mean combined to smooth noise, and one exposure for the sky, all 25 seconds at f/2 with the Sigma 20mm Art lens, and Nikon D750 at ISO 6400.
