This is the Canon EOS 20D's attempt to focus on infinity. I can't explain the star trails! F/3.5, 10-second exposure at ISO 1600.  Image taken on December 14, 2006  from Melville, Saskatchewan.

Looking over the roof of my house, this is a good shot of the Pleiades and Taurus.  The aurora was almost touching the eastern horizon. Camera settings: f/3.5, 10 seconds at ISO 400.    Image taken on December 14, 2006  from Melville, Saskatchewan.

This is my favourite. Not only does it show the colourful light show, the Andromeda Galaxy is obvious at lower centre. Still images don't do justice to the sky that night - it was like looking up into a rocket exhaust! 15 seconds at ISO 400.  Image taken on December 14, 2006  from Melville, Saskatchewan.

Another eastward view over the house, this time showing more of Perseus. Most of my images had stray-light reflections - from cars leaving the driveway. 15 seconds at ISO 400.  Image taken on December 14, 2006  from Melville, Saskatchewan.

The rising sun from Watrous, Saskatchewan.  Image taken on January 29, 2004.

The moon shining through a halo of clouds.  The subtle rainbow colors are not visible in the image but it was a very pretty sight!

The moon rising just before dawn.

Staring down the tracks from a moving train.  The moon was just setting on the morning of February 6th, 2004.

The setting moon in the shadow of the earth.  The sun was not above the eastern horizon yet.  The pink band is known as the Belt of Venus.
