Illumination is from the waxing gibbous Moon, low in the southwest so it is providing a warm light. This is an example of a "deepscape" - a nightcape with a telephoto lens to also record a deep-sky object in the frame above the horizon. However, moonlight prevents the galaxy from showing up as well as it would in a dark sky.13900030 - Actual dinosaur bones in a reconstuction of a dinosaur dig camp in the William Sill Museum in Ischigualasto Provincial Park, Argentina.13899539 - The Big Dipper and Ursa Major over moonlit formations at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta.

The meteors all appear to be streaking away from the radiant point in Perseus at far left. The location is the upper viewpoint near the Park Entrance,and looking northeast to southeast. The lights in the valley below are from the campground and service centre. The one glaring sodium vapour light should be removed or at least shielded. The brightest hori13900618 - The galactic centre area in Sagittarius (at left) and Scorpius (at right) low in the south on a summer night at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. This was June 30/July 1, 2022. Being just 10 days after summer solstice and at latitude +50° North, the sky even to the south still has a blue tint from all-night twilight. I made no attempt to neutralize the sky colouration. In addition, some haze from smoke discoloured the sky and reduced transparency and contrast low in the sky.13900448 - A 360° panorama of the winter sky over Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, on February 28, 2017. The Milky Way arches across the sky from south (left) to northeast (right). The Zodiacal Light stretches up from the western horizon at centre. The Gegenschein is faintly visible above the horizon at far left in Leo.13898054 - The International Space Station (ISS) flying away to the east over the moonlit badlands formations at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, on July 12, 2022, just before local midnight. The image frames the stars of Cassiopeia (upper left), Perseus (at left), Andromeda (centre) and Pegasus (at right). A couple of other fainter satellites are also in the image. Light from the almost Full Moon illuminates the sky blue and foreground a warm colour.13900423 - The late winter evening Zodiacal Light, as shot at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, February 28, 2017. The Light is the glow from sunlight reflecting off cometary dust particles in the inner solar system. It is not an effect of twilight. It is best visible in the evening from northern latitudes in late winter and spring.13900415 - The summer Milky Way and Summer Triangle stars rising in the east at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta on May 14, 2018.13900152 - This is Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) over the badlands and formations of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, on the night of July 14-15, 2020, at about 12:30 am local time with it nearly due north and as low as it got for the night at this latitude of 51° N. A green and magenta aurora colours the northern sky also blue with perpetual summer twilight. Capella is at far right.13900083 - A 360° panorama of the spring sky over the Badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, on March 29, 2019, with the winter Milky Way and constellations setting at centre, and the spring constellations filling the sky at left and right. At centre is also the tapering pyramid-shaped glow of the Zodiacal Light, which continues to the left across the sky as the Zodiacal Band and brightening at far right above the horizon as the Gegenschein. Urban sky glows from Brooks and Calgary mar the horizon with white and yellow glows. Mars is just below the Pleiades at centre in the Zodiacal Light.13899692 - The waxing crescent Moon two days after New low in a smoky sky and over the Red Deer River in Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada. This was June 30, 2022, Despite the hazy skies, the twilight colours show up well in the sky and reflected in the water. The glow of Earthshine shows up slightly on the night side of the Moon. Castor and Pollux in Gemini show up faintly at right.13898898 - Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) over some of the eroded hoodoo formations at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, July 14-15, 2020. A faint aurora is at right. The foreground is lit by starlight only; there was no light painting employed here.13898913 - The summer Milky Way rising in the late night hours on May 14/15, 2018 from Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. The galactic centre is at right; the Summer Triangle stars at left.13898737 - A selfie observing Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) with binoculars on the dark moonless night of July 14/15, 2020 from Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. A faint aurora colours the sky green and magenta. The faint blue ion tail of the comet is visible in addition to its brighter dust tail. The ground is illuminated by starlight and aurora light only.13898407 - A 200+ degree panorama of the arch of the winter Milky Way, from south (left) to northwest (ar right) with the Zodiacal Light to the west at centre. This was from Dinosaur Provincial Park in southern Alberta on February 28, 2017. A spell of warm weather left very little snow, so the landscape does not look like winter here. But the sky is!13999701 - A panorama of the Milky Way on a February winter night over the Badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park,Alberta. The panorama extends from Canis Major low on the horizon to Perseus at top near the zenith. Orion is at right of centre,with Gemini to the left and Taurus and Auriga above Orion. Mars is the bright reddish object in Taurus aboce similarly coloured but dimmer Aldebaran,itself amid the Hyades star cluster. The blue Pleiades is at upper right. Sirius is the bright star at bottom. The image takes in the complete Winter Hexagon (aka the Winter Circle) of bright stars.13998770 - Orion and Sirius over the moonlit badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park,Alberta on Feb. 4,2023 with the waxing gibbous Moon providing the illumination on this very clear and mild night.13900366 - The waxing gibbous Moon above the blue shadow of the Earth and pink Belt of Venus band, with dark blue crepuscular rays converging on the anti-solar point in the east, at sunset, from the badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. Part of a 450-frame time-lapse sequence, taken with the Canon 5D MkII and 24mm lens on the Radian motion controller.13898992 - The northern circumpolar sky with the Big Dipper at right rising, and Deneb in Cygnus and Vega in Lyra at left settting, over the moonlit badland hills of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, on November 27, 2017. The Dipper points up to Polaris and the Little Dipper. The Moon was a day past first quarter. Polaris and the Little Dipper are at centre, so this is looking north to the circumpolar sky.13897719 - The constellation of Andromeda with the famous Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31) rising on an early summer night at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. This was June 30, 2022.13999319 - This is the Perseid meteor shower over the badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park,in the Red Deer River valley in Alberta,with the summer sky above filled with about two dozen meteors from the annual shower on August 12,2023. The meteors all appear to be streaking away from the radiant point in Perseus at left,below the "W" of Cassiopeia. The meteor trails are shortest near the radiant point,as at that location they are coming at us head on. The Andromeda Galaxy is near centre.13998959 - The sparkling winter stars and constellations over the moonlit badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park,Alberta on Feb. 4,2023. The waxing gibbous Moon is off frame at left providing the illumination on this very clear and mild night. Captured here in a vertical panorama from below the horizon to past the zenith.13900484 - The waxing crescent Moon two days after New low in a smoky sky setting over the Badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada. This was June 30, 2022. Despite the hazy skies, the twilight colours show up well in the sky. The glow of Earthshine shows up slightly on the night side of the Moon.13898804 - The rising "supermoon" of July 12, 2022 embedded in the blue arc of Earth's shadow, rimmed by the pink Belt of Venus band of twilight colours, all over the badlands formations of Dinosaur Provincial Park on the Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada. The blue band on the horizon is the shadow of the Earth cast onto the atmosphere opposite the sunset point. The pink Belt of Venus above the shadow is from red sunlight still illuminating the upper atmosphere, an effect that lasts only a few minutes at sunset or sunrise, and requires a very clear sky to show up, as it was this night.13898163 - This captures a panorama of the northern sky over the foreground landscape of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, with the waning Moon rising, and an arc of Northern Lights above the northern horizon. A Kp6 show was forecast for this night but nothing spectacular materialized -- we had just a quiescent arc across the north.13899171 - Summer solstice twilight and circumpolar star trails over the badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. Some bright noctilucent clouds are visible low on the northern horizon. I shot this June 15, 2015 as part of a shoot for a “star trail” video tutorial, as an example image.13898806 - Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) over some of the eroded hoodoo formations at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, July 14-15, 2020. Twilight colours the sky. In this case the foreground is mildly light painted with a warm LED light. This was from the Trail of the Fossil Hunters site.13898526 - The rising "supermoon" of July 12, 2022 embedded in the blue arc of Earth's shadow, rimmed by the pink Belt of Venus band of twilight colours, all over the badlands formations of Dinosaur Provincial Park on the Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada. The blue arc is the shadow of the Earth cast onto the atmosphere opposite the sunset point. The pink Belt of Venus is from red sunlight still illuminating the upper atmosphere, an effect that lasts only a few minutes at sunset or sunrise, and requires a very clear sky to show up, as it was this night.13898004 - Badlands formations in Dinosaur Provincial Park lit by the light from the July 2022 "supermoon" Full Moon off frame at right and behind the hill, on a very clear night. The stars of the northern sky are set in a deep blue sky. Arcturus is at far left; the Big Dipper is at left (distorted somewhat by the panorama projection); Polaris is left of centre at top; Cassiopeia is right of center; Andromeda and Pegasus are below the W of Cassiopeia, and at far right is the star Altair.13897654 - This captures the vertical sweep of the summer Milky Way over the foreground landscape of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. The image serves as a good illustration of the richness of objects, dark dust lanes and bright starfields along the Milky Way, from Sagittarius low in the south at bottom, to Cygnus at top. In between are Aquila and Scutum, with part of Ophiuchus at right. This was from latitude 50.5° North, where Sagittarius and the galactic centre are low in sky. The Summer Triangle stars of Deneb, Vega and Altair are at top.13893157 - Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada13893154 - Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada13893162 - Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada13893160 - Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada13893155 - Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada14141107 - Eroded landscape in the Dinosaur Provincial Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alberta, Canada, North America14141106 - Eroded landscape in the Dinosaur Provincial Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alberta, Canada, North America14141104 - Eroded landscape in the Dinosaur Provincial Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alberta, Canada, North America14141102 - Eroded landscape in the Dinosaur Provincial Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alberta, Canada, North America14141101 - Eroded landscape in the Dinosaur Provincial Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alberta, Canada, North America14141105 - Eroded landscape in the Dinosaur Provincial Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alberta, Canada, North America14141100 - Eroded landscape in the Dinosaur Provincial Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alberta, Canada, North America14141099 - Eroded landscape in the Dinosaur Provincial Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alberta, Canada, North America14141103 - Eroded landscape in the Dinosaur Provincial Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alberta, Canada, North America70519218 - Storm Clouds Over The Badlands Of Dinosaur Provincial Park In Alberta70519217 - Storm Clouds Blowing Over The Badlands Of Dinosaur Provincial Park In Alberta70198479 - Sunset and Sweeping Clouds, Dinosaur Provincial Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada71048840 - Sunrise in the badlands, Dinosaur Provincial Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alberta, Canada, North America70198478 - Dry Creek by Early Morning Light, Dinosaur Provincial Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada70198477 - Rock and Clouds at Sunrise, Dinosaur Provincial Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada71048839 - Sunrise in the badlands, Dinosaur Provincial Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alberta, Canada, North America70198476 - Rock Formations at Sunrise, Dinosaur Provincial Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada13900314 - Sign on the Dr. William Sill Site Museum in Ischigualasto Provincial Park in San Juan Province, Argentina.13897450 - A diorama of dinosaurs from the Triassic Period in the museum of Ischigualasto Provincial Park in Argentina.13900579 - The Dr. William Sill Site Museum in Ischigualasto Provincial Park in San Juan Province, Argentina.13900358 - Models of Hyperodapedon sanjuanensis & Saurosuchus galilei in the museum at Ischigualasto Provincial Park, San Juan, Argentina.13897545 - Monument & burial site of ashes of paleontologist Dr. William Sill in Ischigualasto Provincial Park in San Juan Province, Argentina.
