Noctilucent Clouds at Moonset (July 9, 2024).jpg
A showing of glowing noctilucent clouds in the northwest in the darkening twilight and as the waxing crescent Moon sets at left. They appear over a ripening field of yellow canola. Some forest fire smoke was reddening the sky and Moon.
The three pairs of stars across the top are in Ursa Major and are often called the Three Leaps of the Gazelle, from African skylore. In theory, Comet 13P/Olbers is in the frame between and below the middle and right pairs of Gazelle stars. But it barely shows up in this scale as a fuzzy star.
This was July 9, 2024, at 11:43 pm MDT. This was only the second display of NLCs I had captured to date this season. This was from home in southern Alberta, latitude 51° N.
This is a single 30-second exposure with the Canon RF24-105mm lens at f/4 and 29mm on the Canon R5 at ISO 400. While the sky was quite dark at this point, the long exposure brings out the remaining twilight colours. However, I added enhancement effects (Accent AI, Structure AI, and Glow) with Luminar Neo.
