A grand display of noctilucent clouds at dawn on July 21, 2017, looking northeast and east with the 26-day-old thin waning crescent Moon just rising, and Venus bright as a “morning star” at right. This was the best NLC display of the summer to date, though many nights were plagued with cloud to the north or forest fire smoke. But seeing NLCs as high as this in the sky and well to the east, as at right is rare. This is a two-segment panorama (with each panel a single exposure) with the 35mm lens and Canon 6D. Stitched with ACR with Perspective projection.
The Northern Lights in the brighening glow o morning twilight, with a small display of noctilucent clouds (low on the horizon) over the waters of Crawling Lake in southern Alberta, on June 24/25, 2017. Dew is beginning to fog the lens at the outer portion of the frame. Taken about 2:30 am. A single exposure taken as part of a time-lapse sequence with the 20mm lens and Nikon D750.
