A wide-angle view of the display of noctilucent clouds across the northern horizon on June 4/5, 2019 from home in southern Alberta. This was at about local midnight MDT with twilight still brightening the sky, as it does all night at this time of year from my latitude of 51° N. Cassiopeia is at upper right, Capella is above the trees, and Perseus is skimming the northern horizon at centre. This image shows the NLCs in context to show their angular extent. This is a single image with the 24mm lens and Sony a7III camera. Exposure was 5 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 800.
A panorama of the waning crescent Moon near Aldebaran (at right) rising in the dawn twilight with a northern sky filled with noctilucent clouds (at left). This was the morning of July 10, 2018 when the Moon was in close conjunction with Aldebaran. The scene overlooks a canola field. This is a 12-segment panorama with the 85mm Rokinon lens at f/2.8 and on the Sony a7III camera at ISO 400. Stitched with Photoshop Photomerge. Shot from home in Alberta.
A panorama of a fine display of noctilucent clouds across the northern horizon over an angle of about 60°. This was on June 26, 2018 at about 11:45 pm. Capella is just left of centre. The display faded as the solar illumination dropped and the clouds darkened from the top down. This was from the small pond near home in southern Alberta. This is a stitch of 7 segments, each 2 seconds at f/2.8 with the 85mm Rokinon lens and Canon 6D MkII at ISO 400. Stitched with ACR.
