A panorama of noctilucent clouds (NLCs) in the evening sky at 11:30 pm MDT on July 4, 2020. They faded over the next hour but returned for a spectacular all-sky display at dawn at 4 am. Capella is left of centre; Perseus is right of centre. This is a panorama of 5 segments, each 6 seconds at f/4 with the 50mm Sigma lens and Canon 6D MkII at ISO 200. Stitched with ACR.
Four naked-eye planets arrayed across the dawn sky on July 4, 2020: Venus to the left, Mars at centre, and the pairing of Saturn and Jupiter at right above the old house. Noctilucent clouds light northeastern sky at left, while normal clouds are at right. Mercury was too close to the Sun to see at this time. This is a panorama of 12 segments with the 35mm lens and Canon 6D MkII stitched in two parts with Adobe Camera Raw.
