Stars Over Icefields Parkway Panorama (15-35mm R5).jpg

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download
This is a 270° panorama of the northern summer sky over the Icefields Parkway at the Parker Ridge trailhead area. The waxing Moon behind the peaks at left is still lighting the sky blue and illuminating Nigel Peak at centre and Cirrus Mountain at right with lunar alpenglow. A very dim aurora tints the sky magenta over the Nigel Pass area.

Due north is near centre. The Big Dipper and Ursa Major are left of centre in the northwest, with the bright star Arcturus at left over Mount Athabasca and the sharp-pointed Hilda Peak. The autumn stars of Perseus, Cassiopeia, Andromeda and Pegasus are rising in the northeast at right.

Technical:
This is a panorama of 14 segments, each 20-second exposures with the RF15-35mm lens at 20mm and f/2.8, on the Canon R5 at ISO 2500, and the camera in portrait orientation. Stitched with ACR. All segments processed through Adobe DeNoise AI before stitching. Applications of Generative Fill AI eliminated some unwanted elements in the parking lot, like my car! I left in the RV, apparently camped there for the night. I also left in satellite trails in the sky. And the stars are just a wee bit soft from a slight misfocus.
