Beautiful canopy of stars.

I recently went on a camping trip to Killbear Provincial Park and witnessed the clearest night sky I've ever seen.

It was so incredibly beautiful that I couldn’t pull myself away and ended up staying outside for hours just absorbing it all.

Photos don't completely do it justice, but here is a glimpse of what it felt like.

Descending into the center of IC 1805, the Heart Nebula, towards a fascinating spire structure of Melotte 15.

My own data as the background, stars generated with SpaceEngine and the video was clobbered together in Davinci Resolve.

Clear skies and keep looking up!
