Stack of three 5-minute exposures with Canon 20Da at ISO800 and with 4" AP refractor at f6. Taken April 18, 2006
Mars (bottom) and Saturn in conjunction at right, and the Milky Way at left, in deep blue twilight before the sky got filly dark, over the old corral of the 76 Ranch, in Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan, August 27/28, 2014. Antares and Scorpius are just behind the corral gate at right, Sagittarius is at left in the Milky Way. M6 and M7 open cluster are visible at left. This is a composite of two images: one tracked (for the sky) and one untracked (for the ground) images, both 60 second expsosures at f/2.8 with the 24mm lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 2000. The tracker was the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer.
