The Northern Lights in a decent display on September 15, 2017, from River Road north of Fort Saskatchewan amid the petrochemical plants lighting the foreground, and overlooking the North Saskatchewan River. The aurora here reaches to the zenith in a post-substorm phase of flickering or pulsating. The Big Dipper is right of centre. I shot this with the Canon 6D MkII at ISO 800 and 14mm Rokinon SP at f/2.5, for 4 seconds.

The Big Dipper is right in the centre of the frame; Polaris and the Little Dipper at top. I shot this with the Canon 6D MkII at ISO 800 and 14mm Rokinon SP at f/2.5, for 4 seconds.
The Big Dipper and Ursa Major (at upper right), Arcturus (left of centre), and the waxing 6-day Moon (overexposed at left) in the deep twilight at Reesor Lake in the Cypress Hills, Alberta, July 29, 2017. The Big Dipper is slightly distorted by the wide-angle lens. This is a single 30-second exposure with the Rokinon 14mm SP lens at f/2.5 and Canon 6D at ISO 800.
