A panorama of the bright and extensive noctilucent clouds across the north on July 2, 2020 as shot from home in southern Alberta. Capella and the stars of Perseus are right of centre. This is a panorama of 10 segments shot with the 85mm Rokinon lens on the Canon 6D MkII camera at ISO 100 for 4 seconds each, and taken at 10° spacings which made it possible for Adobe Camera Raw to stitch the segments. The original is almost 30,000 pixels wide.
A display of the bright and extensive noctilucent clouds across the north on July 2, 2020 as shot from home in southern Alberta. Capella is at right. This is a small panorama of 3 segments shot with the 85mm Rokinon lens on the Canon 6D MkII camera at ISO 100 for 1.3 seconds each. Stitched in Adobe Camera Raw.
A 45° panorama of noctilucent clouds seen the night of June 1-2, 2020, first at dusk and then later, here, at dawn at about 3:15 a.m. MDT. This was from home in southern Alberta at latitude 51° N. This was the earliest in the season I had ever seen NLCs; they are more prevalent after summer solstice. Dark nearby weather clouds are silhouetted in front of the NLCs, which are at a height of some 80 km above the Earth near the edge of space. Note the north-south wavy structure and east-west herringbone patterns. Capella is at right of centre. This is a 4-section panorama with the 85mm Rokinon lens and Canon 6D MkII camera, for 3.2 seconds each at f/2.8 and ISO 400. Stitched with Adobe Camera Raw.
