#nlastro

I am very fortunate ... during the summer I get to camp in a beautiful and quiet park full of trees and nature. However the trees can be a challenge for #astronomy / #astrophotography. Here I've made the most of a gap in the trees. I believe the small red patch at the bottom is the Lagoon Nebula.

Nice to be back under a clear moonless night sky in a dark sky preserve last night. Thankfully we were also inside an area of minimal wildfire smoke (as confirmed by #Astrospheric smoke layer view). All those stars making it more difficult to discern constellations. Andromeda and double cluster naked eye. Occasional meteor. An experience that never gets old! #nlskies #nlastro #astrophotography #ParksCanada #TerraNovaPark #DarkSkyPreserve
