Duncan Lake-Northern Lites and Lyrids Meteor Shower
Out to find both and ended up coming home a bit after midnight. I took a lot of pics but couldn't find any meteors or Northern Lights Here is one looking down Duncan Lake of the Milky Way. Click on pic for larger view.
Face I wondered that myself so I checked by the angle of where I took the picture to Timmins. The angle was about 5 degrees out so I suspect that it is a reflection from Timmins. Bill
Beautiful...isn't that a shooting star in the upper right hand side of the picture? See the straight line?
ReplyDeleteAre the lights to the North Timmins or maybe Matechwan? I always wondered when I stayed there.
ReplyDeleteWas there for the Perseids a couple times. One time you could hear ones going thru the atmosphere.
Dark sky and quiet.

Thanks Bill - all I had to go on was paper maps. Been awhile since I was there - had the cabin at Breeze Creek that faces right up the Lake.
ReplyDeleteThink that about 60 miles if memory and map skills were correct.
Hard to find dark sky :)
Wonderful Pictures and you can see clear view of northern lights in winter. We offer Alaska northern lights tours for you.
