The Big Dipper and Ursa Major at the end of the backroad on the summit of Mt Kobau, near Osoyoos, BC, taken at the Mt Kobau Star Party, July 28, 2014. A meteor streaks down at left. This is a stack of two exposures, with the 24mm lens at f/2.5 and Canon 6D at ISO 6400, but one for the sky at 40 seconds and one for the ground at 1m40s to expose more detail in the ground lit only by starlight.
