All-Sky Aurora Outburst (Aug 30-31, 2024).jpg
A sky-filling aurora during an incoming sub-storm with the aurora brightening and filling the sky with pulsing curtains climbing to the magnetic zenith overhead, here at top.
This view is looking north, but the fish-eye lens is taking in much of the sky. This was from home in southern Alberta. This show was somewhat unexpected, through there were last-hour warnings a sky-covering display might be possible. But many indicators showed little prospect of a good show this night. While the aurora is green, there is a short-lived red ray, and the hint of pink nitrogen fringes on the bottom of the curtains at right.
The Summer Triangle stars are at upper left high in the southwest; Jupiter and the Pleiades are rising at right in the east.
This is a single 4-second exposure with the TTArtisan 7.5mm fish-eye lens wide open at f/2 on the Nikon Z6III at ISO 3200. Taken as part of a time-lapse sequence.
