Captured around 3:00 am in February 2022 at Bow Lake, AB. Bow Lake is one of the closer dark sky sites (BZ 2). I love coming here at night for photos; it is so quiet, and it feels ethereal.
The sky didn't have any clouds, and thankfully, there was no wind. The core of the Milky Way was starting to peek out from Crowfoot Mountain. It was very cold that morning at -40 centigrade. By the time the sun was coming up, most of my gear was frozen.
This photograph was created from 50 light frames and 30 dark frames, which were all stacked and aligned. The total capture length for this image is 8 min.
