Tibbitt Lake Aurora Panorama #2.jpg

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download
A 180° panorama of a developing aurora display near Yellowknife, NWT, at Tibbit Lake. This was September 8, 2018. The Kp Index was officially only 2! Yet the display developed into one of the best I have seen. This was early, as the arcs began to come overhead.

The Big Dipper is left of centre to the northwest. Arcturus is reflected in the water. Capella is at centre amid the lower curtain, rising in the northeast. Vega is at upper left. The horizon glow at far left is Yellowknife about 70km away.

This is a stitch of 9 segments, each 25 seconds with the 14mm Sigma Art lens at f/2.2, mounted portrait, and on the Nikon D750 at ISO 3200. Stitched with Adobe Camera Raw.
