Milky Way over Red Deer River.jpg

The Milky Way in Sagittarius (toward the galactic centre) going down behind the badland hills along the Red Deer River. I shot this near East Coulee on Highway 10 in Alberta, on an autumn night. Some clouds were drifting through over the exposure times. Passing car headlights helped light the trees on the opposite bank.

This is a stack of 4 tracked exposures for the sky (each 2 minutes at f/2.2 with the 24mm lens) and then 4 untracked exposures for the ground (each 4 minutes at f/2.5), all with the Canon 6D at ISO 800. The tracker was the iOptron Sky-Tracker. Stacking, using Mean stack mode, helps smooth noise. This was shot as a demo image for use in a video tutorial series.
