A panorama of the Kp5-level aurora on May 27, 2022, from home, with the aurora displaying prominent magenta rays, created by the red oxygen emission blending with illumination from blue scattered sunlight at high altitudes, common around the summer solstice when the high atmosphere is lit all night long. As a bonus, a dim STEVE arc is forming at far right, to the south of the main auroral oval where STEVE normally appears. STEVE faded, then returned to become more strong and visible across the sky from east to west as the main aurora to the north faded.

And as a bonus, one of the stars in Sagitta is actually the globular cluster Messier 71.
The waxing crescent Moon setting over a nearby farm, on June 26, 2017. Shot at the start of a time-lapse sequence, and shot in haste from home as the Moon appeared from beneath an otherwise very cloudy sky. The dark side of the Moon is lit by Earthshine, prominent despite the Moon’s low altitude and bright twilight sky.

A mosaic of the region around the Small Sagittarius Starcloud and Dark Horse dark nebula complex. The field takes in the Milky Way from the Lagoon Nebula at bottom to the Eagle Nebula at top left. In between from top to bottom are the Swan Nebula (M17), and the Small Sagittarius Starcloud (M24). Flanking the bright M24 starcloud are the large open clusters M23 (right) and M25 (left). At bottom left is the M22 globular star cluster. The prominent dark nebula at right is the large Pipe Nebula (B78) with the small Snake Nebula (B72) above it.

This is the field containing the assortment of open star clusters near the star Delta Cassiopeiae,or Ruchbah,at lower right. The bright cluster to the left of Ruchbah is Messier 103. But the more prominent and richer cluster in the field is NGC 663,aka the Letter S Cluster,at left of centre. Below it is the smaller NGC 659,while above it is NGC 654. The yellowed cluster at upper left is IC 166,while the small cluster above M103 is Trumpler 1. So there are clusters in this field from several catalogues.

A 270° panorama of the Northern Lights and aurora curtains across the southern sky,on February 22,2023,from the grounds of the Churchill Northern Studies Centre,in Churchill,Manitoba. This was a Kp5 level aurora this night,active from twilight on and prominent here in the south at about 8:30 pm. Orion and the winter stars are embedded in the aurora at left of centre,above the old launch structures of the Churchill Rocket Range. The new Centre and the old Rocket Range headquarters building are at right.

An image of the entire sky and summer Milky Way, from home in southern Alberta, from my backyard, on September 12, 2015. The night was clear but not that transparent, as some humidity and haze added more than usual horizon glows reflecting yellow light pollution. But there was no aurora, in a week filled with auroras every night. The prominent red nebula overhead is the North America Nebula in Cygnus. South is at bottom, west to the right.
