Cassiopeia nearly overhead on an autumn night, amid the pines at Athabasca Fall, Jasper National Park, Alberta. The Andromeda Galaxy is at top, Perseus is at upper right, and Cepheus and Cygnus at lower left. This is a stack of 4 exposures for the trees (mean combined to smooth noise) and one for the sky, all 25 seconds at f/2 with the 20mm lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 6400. All exposures untracked. Light cloud added the natural star glows.
Cassiopeia and Cepheus in a stack of 5 x 4 minute exposures with the Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800 and 50mm Sigma lens at f/3.2. Plus two exposures taken thru the Kenko Softon filter for the star glows. Takes in the nebulosity in this part of the Milky Way from IC 1396 (at right) to IC 1805 (at left). Taken from home Sept, 29, 2013.
The autumn constellations of Cassiopeia (the W at lower centre) and Cepheus (at top) amid autumn aspens on a moonlit September evening. The Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is at lower right. I shot this from the Elbow Falls area in Kananaskis, Alberta. Illumination is from a waxing gibbous Moon. This is a single untracked 20-second exposure at f/2.5 with the 24mm lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 1000.
