Milky Way Through Trees

The summer Milky Way with the Summer Triangle stars through pine trees, shot from the Howse Pass Viewpoint at Saskatchewan River Crossing, Banff National Park, Alberta. Jupiter is the bright object at the bottom.

This is an exposure blend of a stack of 4 x 2-minute untracked exposures at ISO 6400 for the ground and 2 x 1-minute tracked exposures at ISO 6400 for the sky, with the Canon 15mm full-frame fish-eye lens at f/2.8 and Canon EOS Ra camera. The camera was on the iOptron SkyGuider Pro tracker. An Orton soft glow filter added with Luminar Flex. Lights from the Saskatchewan Crosssing Resort lights the treetops.
