Looking due north at midnight on June 26/27 at Forget-Me-Not Pond in Kananaskis, Alberta, with the sky bright with perpetual solstice twilight that brightens the sky and tints it blue all night near summer solstice at this latitude (51° N). This is a stack of 4 exposures for the ground, Mean combined to smooth noise, and one exposure for the sky and water to keep stars as points. All for 30 seconds at f/2.2 and ISO 800 with the 24mm Sigma lens and Nikon D750.
