13899101 - This is NGC 457, the ET or Owl Cluster in Cassiopeia, in a stack of images showing the total number of satellite trails recorded over the 36 minutes of total expposure time this night. By coincidence, the trails frame the main subject, but the number of satellites now above us make it nearly impossible to take a long exposure image, certainly at the start or end of a night, without recording at least one satellite trail, if not more, per image. Some of the parallel streaks could be Starlink satellites.13899519 - This is a stack of images demonstrating the number of satellites passing through the field of a wide-field telescope over a little more an hour. The field frames the Coma Berenices star cluster. This is from my home at 51° North, a latitude more prone to seeing satellites lit by the Sun well into the evening, if not all night closer to summer solstice. Most trails are north-south so they are likely NOT Starlink satellites but polar orbiting satellites. Interesting that the trails have different colours, likely from their solar panels or other structures reflecting blue and gold tints.13859223 - Traffic Light Trails Around The Arc De Triomphe; Paris France13858437 - View of rock cliffs and plateau along the trails through the Gravina di Matera River and Park near Matera; Matera, Basilicata, Italy13885153 - People walking along the beach and the cliff top trails around Durdle Door overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site near Lulworth Cove; Dorset, England, Great Britain13774174 - Light Trails On A Road And Illuminated Building In The Background At Nighttime; Alnwick, Northumberland, England13774876 - Star Trails Above A Large Boulder In Richtersveld National Park; South Africa13774129 - Star Trails And Northern Lights Over Top The Town Of Djupavik In The West Fjords Of Iceland; Djupavik, Iceland71325554 - Gannet Colony - with gannet trails Morus bassanus Langanes peninsular Iceland BI029191 13892001 - Landscape of a Wheat (Triticum) with truck trails in early summer, Upper Palatinate, Bavaria, Germany.13793772 - Wooden signs for walking trails; Wales13885096 - Overview of the snowy ski trails and snow covered mountain peaks of the Sella Group in Val di Fasso near the Canazei Ski Resort Town in the Trento District, viewed from the Belvedere Ski Area towards Marmolada Mountain; Trentino-Alto Adige, Dolomites, Italy13858438 - View of rock cliffs and caves along the trails through the Gravina di Matera River and Park near Matera; Matera, Basilicata, Italy13858436 - View of rock caves along the trails through the Gravina di Matera River and Park near Matera; Matera, Basilicata, Italy13885156 - People walking along the beach and the cliff top trails at Lulworth Cove overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site; Dorset, England, Great Britain13891623 - Tree with Star Trails71340194 - Car trails going towards the Colosseum during a winter evening.

Satellites streak across the star trails.13898826 - Summer star trails over Mt Cephren on Waterfowl Lake beside Icefields parkway, in Banff National Park.13899639 - A vertical panorama of the summer Milky Way over the observing field at the Saskatchewan Summer Star Party, held in Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park in southwest Saskatchewan, Canada, at a latitude 49° N. The Park is a Dark Sky Preserve. This was August 26, 2022 on a perfect night of stargazing under very clear skies. The Milky Way extends from Sagittarius near the horizon, to Cygnus nearly overhead at this time, so a vertical sweep of 90°. I've left the satellite trails in for this scene.13897757 - A horizon-to-zenith panorama of the winter consellations on a March evening as they set into the southwest. Orion is at bottom centre, with his Belt pointing down to Canis Major and up to Taurus. Gemini and Auriga are at top, in this case near the zenith overhead. The bright star clusters, M44, the Beehive, (at left) and M45, the Pleiades, (at right) flank the Milky Way. M45 is embedded in the Zodiacal Light. The star clusters M35 in Gemini and M41 in Canis Major are also visible as diffuse spots, as are several other star clusters. A couple of satellite trails are visible.13899299 - A composite of about 280 images, taken with the Canon 60Da and 10-22mm lens at 17mm, at Bow Lake in Banff, Alberta showing star trails across the sky looking west.

Stacked in Photoshop using Chris Schur's Photoshop Action.13899777 - Circumpolar star trails at dawn over the historic Butala homestead at the Old Man on His Back Prairie and Heritage Conservation Area in southwest Saskatchewan, taken May 2015. This is a stack of 70 frames from a larger time-lapse sequence, from the start of the sequence in the dusk twilight, with some aurora active and adding green and magenta to the sky. Cassiopeia is at left over the house.13899422 - Star trails over Patricia Lake and Pyramid Mountain in Jasper National Park. Moonlight provides the illumination and a faint aurora is at lower right in the northeast. The Big Dipper is the main pattern right of centre.71431339 - Double exposure of Copenhill, a waste to energy plant that houses a ski slope, climbing hill and walking trails.13900556 - Circumpolar star trails over a grand old barn in southern Alberta, on a fine spring night, May 23, 2018. Illumination is from the waxing gibbous Moon to the south. This is looking north to Polaris at top right.

Each image was 50 seconds, taken at 1s intervals at ISO 1250 and at f/4. Stacked in Photoshop using Chris Schur's Photoshop Action.13898023 - Circumpolar star trails over the historic but sadly neglected St. Anthony’s Church between Bow Island and Etzikom, Alberta. The Big Dipper is at left, Polaris at top. The Roman Catholic church was built in 1911 by English, Russian German immigrants. It served a dwindling congregation until 1991 when it closed. At that time workers found a time capsule from 1915 with names of the priest and parisioners of the day. In summer of 2014 the Church suffered its latest indignity when the iron cross on its steeple tower was stolen. It was there when I stopped at this Church on a site scouting trip in M13999563 - The Geminid meteor shower of 2022,showing two bright Geminids leaving yellowish ion trails or "smoke" trains in their wake. The two meteors appeared about 45 minutes apart but are blended together here.13899336 - Mark gazing at a target, M22, in the Milky Way with his TeleVue 127 refractor at the annual Rothney Observatory Milky Way Nights for July 25, 2019.

I shot this Canada Day, July 1, 2015 from Scotsman Hill overlooking Calgary, awaiting the fireworks. This is a stack of 110 frames, merged with Advanced Stacker Actions using the Ultrastreaks action. Despite the blending, the ~ 8s gap between exposures still led to gaps in the streaks - you’d have to shoot at 1s intervals to eliminate them. To smooth out the gaps I added a duplicate layer for the sky with a Radial Blur filter applied to further streak the clouds. I also 71447887 - Views of Abel Tasman National Park from trails in the park near Nelson New Zealandasman National Park on the South Island of New Zealand13899273 - Circumpolar star trails and aurora over the boreal forest at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, Churchill, Manitoba, on Feb 9, 2016.71447880 - Views of Abel Tasman National Park from trails in the park near Nelson New Zealandasman National Park on the South Island of New Zealand13999319 - 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.13898099 - The LMC, Large Magellanic Cloud, taken with 135mm telephoto lens for a field of view similar to binoculars.
