A pass of several of the second set (but called Starlink1) of Starlink satellites in the moonlight on January 5, 2020. This was the set launched in November 2019. Here 5 Starlinks out of a couple of dozen closely spaced satellites on this pass can be seen emerging from the clouds at right and heading southeast below the waxing gibbous Moon where they disappear into Earth’s shadow this night. This was from home in Alberta . This is a single exposure, not a stack or coomposite. with the Nikon D750 and Sigma 14mm lens for 2 seconds at f/1.8 and ISO 1600. This is one frame from a short time-lapse sequence.
The International Space Station (ISS) travels across the sky on December 2, 2019, beginning at 6:08 p.m. MST, from due west at left to due east at right, passing high in the north at centre in this 360° fish-eye view. At right, the ISS fades from view at it experiences sunset, dimming and reddening as it passes above the Pleiades. This was from home in Alberta with a waxing quarter Moon providing the illumination, with the Moon behind the camera due south and out of frame. This is looking due north. I am posing for a selfie with the Station. This is a stack of 7 x 40-second exposures for the ISS path, masked and blended in Lighten mode onto a single image for the sky, foreground, and me! That background layer was shot immediately after the last ISS frame. All with the 8mm Sigma fish-eye lens at f/3.5 and Canon EOS Ra at ISO 1000.
The northern summer Milky Way setting over the mountains of Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada, with the Space Station rising at right, then fading into sunset, in a trail from the series of long exposures. This is from the Bison Compound viewpoint looking south and southwest, on September 21, 2019, in frames taken as part of a time-lapse. This is a stack of 8 images for the ground to smooth noise, one image from the set for the stars to minimize trailing, and a stack of 6 images masked to reveal just the ISS trail. The trail fades to deep red as the ISS travels into the Earth’s shadow as it rose here and experienced sunset at their altitude. A mild Orton glow effect added with Luminar Flex. Each exposure in the set was 30 seconds at ISO 4000 and f/2 with the Venus Optics 15mm lens and Sony a7III. Part of a 360-frame time-lapse.
