The Big Dipper in hazy clouds over the Waterton River at Maskinonge Pond, September 23, 2016, taken at the Night Photography Workshop I conducted there that night. The glow at right is light pollution from the Shell Waterton Gas Plant and from Pincher Creek to the north.

The Northern Lights on Feb 16, 2015, as seen from the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, in Churchill, Manitoba at 58° latitude, and under the auroral oval. The aurora appeared as skies cleared somewhat during a blizzard with high winds and blowing snow conditions. I shot these from the second floor deck of the Centre, out of the wind and off the ground. Jupiter is at right, the Big Dipper at left.
