Orion, at left, in moonlight and brightening morning twilight over the Columbia Icefields in Jasper National Park, with Athabasca and Dome Glaciers on the morning of Sept 13, 2014. The waning gibbous Moon is just off the frame to the top. This is a panorama made of 4 untracked images, each with the 24mm lens for 10 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 800 with the Canon 6D. Stitched with PTGui. Though hard to see, there are a couple of spots of light on the glacier on Mt. Athabasca at left from headlamps from climbers ascending before dawn. I was able to watch their lights moving up the mountain while I was doing this pre-dawn shoot.
