Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download
A portrait of the Big Dipper and Little Dipper high in the northern spring sky on a moonlit April night. Polaris is at lower left at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper.

This is a stack of 4 x 1-minute exposures at f/2.8 with the Sigma 24mm Art lens adapted to the Canon EOS Ra at ISO 400, blended with a single image taken through an Alyn Wallace/Kase StarGlow filter plus an exposure taken through a Tiffen 6-point Star filter for added effect. Filter layers blended in with Lighten mode and masked to just the stars to prevent them from affecting the background sky illumination and uniformity. Taken April 20, 2021 from Dinosaur Provincial Park with the camera on the Star Adventurer 2i tracker with the quarter Moon off frame at top.
