This is most of the group,though a bright leader satellite did pass by a minute prior following the same path. The satellites were predicted to be magntiude 3.0 but appear as bright as first magnitude stars. This is looking northwest toward the Big Dipper at top. The glow of morning twilight brightening the sky. The satellite train is traveling from left to right here,from southwest to north. This is13999547 - A 330° panorama of the great April aurora show on April 23,2023,taken from home in southern Alberta. One other camera is in the scene,taking a time-lapse.

The crescent Moon and Venus are setting in the west at far left in clouds.13999481 - A fine showing of auroral curtains in the northeastern sky,with the Big Dipper and Ursa Major at upper left,with the sky and ground also illumimnated by the light of the waxing crescent Moon. This was February 25,2023 from the observing deck at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre,Churchill,Manitoba.13999239 - This wide-field image frames the end stars of the Big Dipper's handle — Mizar at top,and Alkaid at bottom — and to also include in the frame the bright galaxies Messier 101 (at left) and Messier 51 (at lower right,aka the Whirlpool Galaxy). They are small on this image scale but the image serves for a finder chart illustration of the location of these galaxies relative to the Handle. The famous double star Mizar and Alcor is also obvious at top,as is the red giant star 83 Ursa Majoris. The field is 10° x 15°,so wider than binoculars.13999152 - The quarter Moon,(in Leo) and planets Venus (brightest at right) and Mars (dim and upper left of Venus) in the late evening twilight over the front ranges of the Rocky Mountains.

Cancer is marked by the large binocular star cluster,Messier 44,the Beehive,at centre here. The head of Hydra is at bottom centre. Between the two is the small star cluster M67,just resolved here.13998870 - This is the "Leo Trio" or Leo Triplet of spiral galaxies,that includes two Messier galaxies: M65 (lower right),M66 (lower left),along with the edge-on spiral NGC 3628 (top). The galaxy NGC 3593 is at right. A number of other faint 15th-magnitude IC and PGC galaxies are also in the frame as tiny fuzzy spots hard to distinguish from stars at this scale. The Class K3 orange giant star 73 or n Leonis is at right.13998841 - This is a panorama of the colourful evening twilight sky over the Badlands of the Red Deer River,Alberta,taken from the Horsethief Canyon viewpoint north of Drumheller on the Dinosaur Trail. The very thin crescent Moon is in the photo,but tough to see. It is a pale crescent very low in the orange glow to the right of the grain bins at far left.13998821 - This is a framing of the Cygnus Starcloud in the northern Milky Way,with the patches of red hydrogen gas throughout the region emphasized. The field takes in the "neck" of Cygnus,from north of Eta Cygni at left,to just south of Beta Cygni,aka Albireo,at right,with the field oriented along the Milky Way. Some of the nebulosity here is numbered in the Sharpless catalogue. For example,the faint arc left of Albireo is Sharpless 2-91. The brightest patch of nebulosity lower left of Eta Cygni is Sh2-101. The nebula in the botttom right corner is NGC 6820 in Vulpecula.

This was just after midnight on July 11/12, 2022 when the sky was also still lit by summer twilight colours, and with a weak display of noctilucent clouds also visible low in the northwest at left. The auroral curtains exhibit the usual green band and rays, but also upper altitude reds and purples and a faint blue tint at the very tops where the aurora is lit by the Sun. The aurora was never bright this night (Kp Index was 3 or 13900411 - A composite showing the 2017 Geminid meteors streaking from the radiant point in Gemini at upper left, above the blue-white star Castor. 2 or 3 meteors are not Geminids as their paths do not project back to the radiant, but I have left them in regardless, as an illustration.13900385 - The Big Dipper (at right) trailing over Pyramid Mountain in Jasper National Park, on a moonlit night on October 24/25, 2015.

The centre of the Galaxy area in Sagittarius is setting in the southwest behind the Icefields. The foreground light on the moraines is wash from lights on the Glacier View Inn and Icefields Centre. Other ground illumination on the peaks is from starlight though the tops of the peaks are just being lit by light from the rising waning Moon which is also beginning to light the sky a deep blue. Mt. Andromeda is at left. The Summer Triangle stars are at centr13899923 - The spectacular field of Messier 8 and 20 emission and reflection nebulas in Sagittarius, with M8, aka the Lagoon Nebula below, and M20, the Trifid Nebula, above, all set in the rich starfields of the Milky Way.

The Messier open cluster, M21, sits above M20.13899801 - This is the field in Vulpecula the Fox that contains the famous planetary nebula, the Dumbbell Nebula aka Messier 27, at left, but also the faint emission nebulas NGC 6820 at right and Sharpless 2-88 above it. The small star cluster below centre is NGC 6830. A small star cluster, NGC 6823, lies embedded in NGC 6820. The field is yellowed by the interstellar dust reddening distant objects.13899690 - Horizon-to-zenith panorama of the northern winter sky, from Canis Major in the south just above the horizon to Cassiopeia past the zenith at the top of the frame. Capella is near the zenith above centre. The extra star at left is Mars, just 10 days past opposition, on Feb. 9, 2010, when it was just above the Beehive star cluster. Taken with Canon 5DMkII and Canon 15mm lens, at f/5 for stack of 3 exposures x 4.5 minutes each at ISO 800. Two exposures had frost on the lens, thus the big star haloes. Taken from southern Alberta, Canada.13899683 - Circumpolar star trails spinning behind Double Arch at Arches National Park, Utah, as the waning gibbous Moon lights the arches toward the end of the sequence.
