This frames the spectacular region of the southern Milky Way, indeed the southernmost portion of the Milky Way, through Crux (at left) and Carina (at right). Below Crux are the stars of Musca the Fly, framed to include the Dark Doodad nebula, the long streak of dark dust below the larger Coal Sack nebula beside the stars of Crux, the Southern Cross. The large bright Carina Nebula at right is surrounded by a variety of star clusters, including the blue Southern Pleiades, IC 2602, at lower right. At centre is the Running Chicken Nebula, IC 2944/48.

This is a demonstration of the crowded sky we now have, with all the trails being from Earth-orbiting satellites, with the exception of the tapered orange streak at lower right which is likely a meteor. This is a stack of 40 exposures taken over 70 minutes, layered to accumulate the satellite trails, not eliminate them, to show how many satellites crossed the field in the hour plus of the imaging. Are some SpaceX Starlinks? Perhaps, but there are many other satellites up there now.

A colourful display of aurora on March 23,2023 during the great equinox show that night. This is looking northwest toward the Big Dipper and Little Dipper with Polaris,and with nice green and magenta curtains. The dark streak is an aircraft contrail seen in silhouette in front of the Lights.

The Horsehead Nebula, B33, below the Belt of Orion and the star Alnitak, along with the bright Flame Nebula, NGC 2024, to the left of Alnitak. Many other bright reflection nebulas populate the field, such as NGC 2023 just left of the Horsehead itself. The quintuple star system Sigma Orionis is right of the Horsehead. The dark Horsehead is set against the bright streak of the emission nebula IC 434.

A composite of the Perseid meteor shower, on the peak night, Aug 11/12, 2016, looking northeast to the radiant point in Perseus left of centre, with the Pleiades and Hyades clusters in Taurus rising. There are 33 meteors here. Note the fairly consistent green to red tint of each meteor streak. A couple of streaks look more white and might be flaring satellites though their trajectory matches where a Perseid should be.

A selfie of me shooting time-lapses and tracked Milky Way images at the 76 Ranch Corral site at Grasslands National Park, August 27, 2019. Taken for use as a book cover. High cloud and a dark aircraft contrail drifting through added the star glows and the dark streak. Jupiter, at right, and Saturn, at left, flank the Milky Way. Altair is the bright star at top.

A “cloud streak” photo made using the same techniques as in stacking star trails only its the clouds trailing, or streaking. I shot this Canada Day, July 1, 2015 from Scotsman Hill overlooking Calgary, awaiting the fireworks. This is a stack of 110 frames, merged with Advanced Stacker Actions using the Ultrastreaks action. Despite the blending, the ~ 8s gap between exposures still led to gaps in the streaks - you’d have to shoot at 1s intervals to eliminate them. To smooth out the gaps I added a duplicate layer for the sky with a Radial Blur filter applied to further streak the clouds. I also

The rising of the Full Moon on Easter eve, Saturday, March 31, 2018, on a very cold night with lots of snow still on the ground in Alberta. So this is more a winter Moon than a spring one. This is the “paschal” Moon – the one that defines the date of Easter, being the first Full Moon after the vernal equinox. The first Sunday after that Full Moon, in this case the next day, is Easter Sunday.
