The Milky Way rising over the peak of Mt. Blakiston, in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada. This was June 10/11, 2024, so some snow still remains at high altitudes. This is an example of a "deepscape" — a nightscape taken with a longer focal length lens than is usual for nightscapes, to frame a fragment of a landscape below an interesting area of sky with notable deep-sky objects.

The stars of the Big Dipper over the iconic peak of Pyramid Mountain from Pyramid Island, a popular location in Jasper National Park, Alberta, for nightscape and aurora photography. This was on a very clear night in mid-October, 2022, with many aspen stands still in full autumn colour. The images for this scene were shot at moonrise, with the waning gibbous Moon off frame at right lighting the sky blue and landscape with warm alpenglow moonlight. As bonus, a short bright meteor and its orange "smoke" trail appeared on the sky exposures. I shot this during the first weekend of the 2022 Jasper D

A nightscape photographer from one of my workshops, shooting in the moonlight at Red Rock Canyon, in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta. Clouds partly obscure the gibbous Moon but add a colourful iridescent corona around the Moon, which is reflected in the Red Rock Canyon Creek. This is an HDR stack of 5 exposures with the 14mm lens and Canon 6D, to preserve detail in the bright clouds and the disk of the Moon, and in the dark shadows.

This frames the rich region of the southern Milky Way in the small constellations of Norma (at centre) and Ara (at left and extending to the top). The bright Norma Starcloud is at bottom with the rich star cluster NGC 6067 ermbedded in it. The large red nebula at top is NGC 6188, aka RCW 108, that surrounds a loose star cluster NGC 6193. The nebula has become known as the Fighting Dragons of Ara, from its apperance in close-up images. To the right of the large nebula is the small double-lobed planetary nebula NGC 6164, though it is tiny at this image scale.

This is a 360° panorama of the May 10/11, 2024 great aurora display, when the Kp Index reached 8 this night bringing aurora to as far south as the southern U.S. Here, from my home in southern Alberta, Canada (latitude 51° N) it is exhibiting very odd vertical blue and magenta rays across the western (left), northern (bottom), and eastern (right) sky, and an odder bright patch to the south at top.

This is the reflection nebula called the Witch Head Nebula, but officially IC 2118 (also with the catalogue number NGC 1909), near the very bright star Rigel, at lower left in Orion. But the nebula is over the border in Eridanus the River. Hot blue-white Rigel is the source of illumination lighting this dusty nebula. Some faint magenta emission nebulosity also populates the field in Orion.

The bright inner corona also shows up even at this short single exposure. High cirrus clouds added some glow to the diamond ring burst.

A panorama of weak Kp1-level auroral arcs in the moonlight, on February 15, 2024, from the deck of the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, Manitoba. This is an example of the kind of low-level aurora that is almost always present at locations like Churchill under the main auroral oval. The northerly lower arc did not appear until close to midnight, as is typical for weak displays. It was then joined by the broad dim arc at centre reaching overhead. Note the dark streaks in the wide arc.
