Aurora Panorama from Yellowknife with Steve.jpg

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download
A 360° panorama of the Northern Lights on a partly cloudy night from a site west of Yellowknife on Highway 3. A short-lived arc appears at centre south of the main auroral arc that looks very much like a classic STEVE arc. It appeared for a while in the east then brightened overhead then into the west at left, but was present for no more than about 10 minutes. Whether this was STEVE is unknown.

However, Steve is in the picture as friend Stephen Bedingfield is taking images at right. To the left of Steve the person is Mars the planet just on the horizon (but as high as would get from this latitude of 62° N) and the Milky Way. The Big Dipper is at left.

This is a stitch of 12 segments, each 25 seconds at f/1.8 with the Sigma 14mm Art lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 3200. Stitched with PTGui — ACR did a good job but did not allow adjusting the framing.
