Kp4 Aurora #1 (Feb 10, 2024).jpg
This is the sky-filling aurora of February 10, 2024, as seen and shot from the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. This was a Kp4-level display, though that was an unexpected level of activity this night. Predictions had been calling for only Kp1 or 2 at best.
But a surprise coronal mass ejection impacted Earth this night and raised the auroral activity up a couple of notches on the Kp scale, resulting in a more extensive sky-filling display with more active motion and multiple curtains and bands, with a good range of colours.
This is looking northeast, with the Leo rising at right of centre.
This is a single 15-second exposure with the TTArtisan 11mm full-frame fish-eye lens at f/2.8 and Canon R6 at ISO 1600.
