Examples of Light Pollution In and Around Edmonton

Edmonton at Night from Elk Island National Park

This photo was taken by L. Taylor and shows the sky-glow from Edmonton. Photo was taken from the Blackfoot Staging Area a few kilometres East of Edmonton. Photo was shot looking West towards the city, and the oil refineries. Canon T-70, 50mm, f2.8, 20 seconds.

Edmonton at Night from Blackfoot Staging Area

Another photo by L. Taylor also from the Blackfoot Staging Area. Canon T-70, 50mm, f2.8, 20 seconds taken same night as above, but facing NNW. Possibly light pollution from both Edmonton and Lamont in this picture.

Edmonton at Night from East side of City

This photo was taken by L. Taylor and shows the sky-glow from within Edmonton. Photo was taken from Mr. Taylor's backyard. Shot taken looking due West, those aren't refinery lights, just plain backyard sidewalk lights, and aurora. Canon T-70, 50mm, f2.8 15 seconds.

Edmonton at Night from East side of City

This photo was taken by L. Taylor and shows the sky-glow from within Edmonton looking due east. Photo taken same night as the previous one. Jupiter is visible in the photo, but can't compete with the surrounding glow. The aurora are beautiful, but think what they would have been like from a truly dark site? Canon T-70, 50mm, f2.8 15 seconds.
