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.
