An extensive display of noctilucent clouds blended with a star trail sequence of the circumpolar stars of the northern sky, southern Alberta, Canada. This is a stack of thirty 30-second exposures taken at the end of a sequence of 450 shots, taken when the sky was darkest with the most stars visible, blended with a shorter exposure taken earlier in the night when the noctilucent clouds were more extensive across the twilight sky.
