Orion and the winter stars rising behind the old Pioneer Grain Co elevators at Mossleigh, Alberta, on December 28, 2016, in a two-panel panorama. A “vintage filter” from the Luminar plug-in was applied to the ground to add more of a sepia tone, though the ground was lit by yellow sodium vapour yard lights. Taken with 24mm lens and Nikon D750 for 13 seconds each, at f/2.8 and ISO 1000. Star diffraction spikes added with Astronomy Tools action.
