Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) with the Northern Lights over the Waterton River at Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, on July 13-14, 2020. This was from the Maskinonge picnic area. This is a blend of a stack of nine exposures for the ground and water to smooth noise, blended with a single short exposure for the sky, all 25 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 800, with the 35mm Canon lens and Canon 6D MkII camera. LENR employed on all shots to reduce thermal noise this warm summer night.
