Andrew Frank-Wilson reports: “While visiting family near Tobin Lake, Saskatchewan, on August 30, I was outside aligning my telescope when I noticed an incredible amount of light rising above the tree line behind me. When I walked to the road at the end of the lane I was rewarded with this spectacular view.”

Andrew used a Nikon D5300 DSLR camera equipped with a Sigma 8-16mm zoom lens for this 20-second exposure at f/4.5.
