Panorama of the extensive aurora of 20/21 October 2023 over a rural house in southern Alberta, Canada. The aurora coloured much of the sky, but was most prominent as a large diffuse arc across the north, with a more active structured arc low in the north. The Summer Triangle stars are at left, the Big Dipper and Ursa Major are below centre, Polaris and the Little Dipper/Ursa Minor are at top centre, while Orion and the winter stars are rising at right. At upper right is Jupiter and the Pleiades.
