Under The Green of The Night, The Horses Did Roam
Horses grazing in a field beneath a wonderful display of the aurora borealis in Iceland.
A wide-angle view from horizon to past the zenith of the northern hemisphere spring sky, taken early May 2013 from home, using 15mm Canon lens at f/3.2, and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600 for stack of 5 x 3 minute exposures, tracked. The ground is from one exposure. Leo and Regulus are at right, Arcturus at left, and Spica and Saturn at lower left. The Big Dipper is at top. Corvus is at bottom. In the centre is the Coma Berenices star cluster, aka Mel111.
Sagittarius and Scorpius low on the southern and southeastern horizon, in early May 2013, from home from a latitude of 51° North. The Dark Horse outlined in dust lanes is near centre, a feature which includes the Pipe Nebula. This is a stack of 5 x 2.5 minute exposures at f/2.8 with the 50mm Sigma lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600.

A Lithuanian Fairy Tale
The Milky Way above Trakai Island Castle in Lithuania.
The Big Dipper over the Ottawa River during twilight. Canon EOS 60Da and an f/5.6 10-20mm Sigma lens set to 10mm at ISO 400, 10s exposure.
Orion and winter stars setting into the western sky in spring, northern hemisphere, with the blue glow of twilight still in the sky and the yellow glow of urban light pollution at right. This is a frame from a time-lapse movie taken with the Canon 5D MkII and 24mm lens on the Orion TeleTrack tracking the setting stars in a horizontal panning motion L to R, thus the odd vertical star trails.
