As bonus, a short bright meteor and its orange "smoke" trail appeared on the sky exposures. I shot this during the first weekend of the 2022 Jasper D13899586 - The Sagittarius Milky Way area, around the centre of the Galaxy, over the trees and campsite at Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, Sasksatchewan. Taken August 17, 2012 at the Saskatchewan Summer Star Party. This is a composite of 6 exposures: all 2 minutes at f/2.8 and ISO 1600 with the Canon 5D MkII and Sigma 50mm lens, but 5 exposures were tracked and 1 exposure was untracked to prevent the ground from blurring. Ground is from the untracked exposure, sky is from the stack of 5 tracked exposures. All taken from the same location -- the ground is not faked onto a separate sky shot.
