The Zodiacal Light in the dawn sky, September 14, 2021, from home in Alberta, with the winter sky rising. Orion and the winter stars are at far right with Sirius rising. The Big Dipper is at far left. The winter Milky Way appears vertically across the frame. The Zodiacal Light is the pyramid-shaped glow angled to the right rising out of the eastern sky. Dawn twilight colours the sky. This is a stack of 5 x 30-second exposures for the ground to smooth noise, and a single 30-second exposure for the sky, all with the TTArtisan 11mm full-frame fish-eye lens at and on the Canon R6 at ISO 3200. All untracked on a static tripod.
