All-Sky Aurora Corona Outburst (May 10, 2024).jpg

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download
This was the view as the great aurora display of May 10, 2024 suddenly and briefly brightened and converged at the zenith for a superb corona effect. This lasted no more than a minute before it dimmed and subsided again, to continue to fill the sky but with much less structure and motion. The camera at left was set up for shooting movies, but this outburst was so brief I did not have a chance to start that camera going. The Big Dipper or Plough is above centre.

Clouds drifting through partly obscured the show this night.

This is a single 9-second exposure with the Laowa 7.5mm circular fish-eye lens at f/2 on the Canon R5 at ISO 800. It is one frame from a time-lapse sequence.
