Night Dancing Auroras

Dancing Auroras · 11:59 AM

This was short but amazing show last night - thanks to the current activity on the sun. It has been a long time since last time we had so strong auroras - about 7 years if I remember correctly.

Woah. where is this?

Beautiful. I always like looking at aurora pictures. I was hoping to see some in person last week but it didn't happen.

KevinR · 02-22-2011, 12:53 PM

Awesome capture.. this is bucket list stuff.

I haven't seen those colors in years either - it's a true spectacle of nature that you have captured well. Thanks.

Beautiful. I would love to see an aurora. Thanks for posting it.

What can I say. Very beautiful and well done.--charliezap

Great capture Joni. Love the colors.
Just out of curiosity, how much longer than 6 seconds was the exposure? (I can't - or at least don't know how - to view the EXIF data on my work computer.)

Thanks,

Tim
