Details:
We've been enjoying almost nightly displays of noctilucent clouds this week, now at peak season for "NLCs" from my latitude.
This is a panorama of the display from July 10, 2026 across the northwestern horizon from southern Alberta.
This was at about 11:30 pm MDT, with the bright blue-white noctilucent clouds beginning to decline in brightness from the top down as the Sun dropped further below the horizon and the illumination of clouds began to decrease.
I have exaggerated the detail and contrast in order to bring out the structure and colours present in the NLCs and twilight glow. Capella is at right.
This was from latitude 51º North, 112º West. From my local "one tree" hill south of home.
Technical:
This is a pano of 8 segments, each 13 seconds with the Canon RF24-105mm lens at 56mm and f/4 on the Canon R5 at ISO 200. Stitched in Adobe Camera Raw.
