Big Dipper over Castle Mountain
The Big Dipper over the iconic Castle Mountain in Banff National Park, Alberta, with a backdrop of a faint aurora in the northern sky.
This was at 3 am on July 16, 2018, and taken from the Castle Cliffs viewpoint on the Bow Valley Parkway. The sky was also brightening with dawn twilight blue.
This is a stack of 8 exposures for the ground, mean combined to smooth noise, and one exposure for the sky. All 30 seconds at f/2 with the Sigma 24mm Art lens, and Nikon D750 at ISO 3200. LENR dark frame subtraction applied in camera.
