A 100° panorama of noctilucent clouds seen the night of June 1-2, 2020, first at dusk, seen here at 11:40 pm MDT, and then later at dawn at about 3:15 a.m. MDT. This was from home in southern Alberta at latitude 51° N. This was the earliest in the season I had ever seen NLCs; they are more prevalent after summer solstice. Dark nearby weather clouds are silhouetted in front of the NLCs, which are at a height of some 80 km above the Earth near the edge of space. Note the north-south wavy structure. Castor and Pollux are at left, and Capella is at centre at the top of the frame.

This is a 7-section panorama with the 85mm Rokinon lens and Canon 6D MkII camera, for 3.2 seconds each at f/2.8 and ISO 400. Stitched with Adobe Camera Raw.
