The Milky Way in Sagittarius and Scorpius to the south over the Red Deer River from Orkney Viewpoint, and competing with the urban skyglow from Drumheller washing out the sky. A car travelling to the south added the “car trails” and lit the valley.

Antares and Scorpius are at right, Saturn is at centre, and Sagittarius is left of centre.

This is a stack of 5 frames for the ground, and one for the sky, all tracked on the Star Adventurer Mini as a test of its Astro Time-Lapse mode which tracks the sky for each exposure then resets back to the starting point after each exposure. So the stars remain pinpoint but the ground is blurred somewhat. Each exposure was 45 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 1250 with the 35mm lens and Canon 6D.
