Airglow over Bryce Canyon National Park

Night sky with green and red airglow, the Milky Way, Seven Sisters (M45), Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and Capella star are above; Hoodoos, caused by erosion over many millennia are bellow. This photo was done from my trip to Bryce Canyon in Sunset Point.

 

Constellations: Triangulum, Perseus, Camelopardalis. Part of the constellations: Pisces, Lynx, Auriga, Cassiopeia, Aries.

Bright starts: Capella, Ruchbah, Almach, Algol, Hamal, Mirach, Menkalinan, Mirfak.

 

The Airglow is visible in the true-dark sky of Bryce Canyon near horizon. Green and red colors of Airglow are common for the natural moonless sky. The luminous night sky airglow was just faintly visible by naked eye, its color captured only by a long exposure of camera.
