The Park is an International Dark Sky Preserve, along with Glacier National Park in the The Park is also a World Heritage Site. Sagittarius, with Saturn and the Dark Horse dark nebula area is at centre; Scorpius and Antares are at right. This was June 17/18, 2018, on a windless night and a clear night between storm systems. This is a stack of 5 exposures for the ground, mean combined to smooth noise, and a single exposure for the sky and reflected stars, to minimize trailing. All were 25 seconds at with the Sigma 20mm Art lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 3200. Softening “Orton” style effects added to the sky and ground using Luminar and ON1 Photo RAW as filters.
