Milky Way over Lake Louise #1.jpg

The summer Milky Way to the southwest over Victoria Glacier and Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Alberta on a moonless night, August 29, 2016. This was about midnight at the start of the night, and before a time-lapse sequence. A low-level aurora and likely airglow this night to the north added a general green cast to the sky, minimized to some extent here.

Mt. Fairview to the left and others are partly illuminated by light spill from the Chateau Lake Louise and from highway lights in the valley below.

This is a stack of 8 exposures for the ground, averaged to smooth noise, and one exposure for the sky, all 30 seconds at f/2 with the 20mm Sigma Art lens and at ISO 4000 with the Nikon D750. All untracked. Long Exposure Noise Reduction applied.
