A panorama of glowing noctilucent clouds in the northwest in the darkening twilight and as the waxing crescent Moon sets at left. They appear over a ripening field of yellow canola. Some forest fire smoke was reddening the sky and Moon.

This was July 9, 2024, at 11:45 pm MDT. This was only the second display of NLCs I had captured to date this season. This was from home in southern Alberta, latitude 51° N.

This is a panorama of 5 segments, each 30-second exposure with the Canon RF24-105mm lens at f/4 and 58mm on the Canon R5 at ISO 400. While the sky was quite dark at this point, the long exposure brings out the remaining twilight colours. However, I added enhancement effects (Accent AI, Structure AI, and Glow) with Luminar Neo. Pano stitched with Adobe Camera Raw.
