Finally had a chance to look at my Nikon photos of the aurora borealis on 9/2. I had three shots that are worth sharing. I have lots of ideas on how to improve these ... but more than anything I'm grateful I had the opportunity to see the northern lights in my home state. Let me know what you think.

Shooting with the Nikon, I realized early on the lights were too dim for autofocus. Next time I need to make sure my manual focus is set correctly before it's dark πŸ™„. I think some of the shots were still good, but there was a lot of guessing happening. This was a great reminder to practice more night shooting.

Enjoy this short clip of the over (2/2).

Last night I saw the for the first time. I am still ecstatic!

We arrived at the coast of Lake Superior near Porcupine Mountains about 15 min before the lights appeared. This photo was from my phone. It was interesting to see how various phones from my friends and bystanders captured the lights. I also managed to capture a short timelapse I'll try to share in a comment. I've also added a screen capture of our location (1/2).

Aurora season is coming. Despite the clouds and bright moonlight, I managed to catch a glimpse last night.

The world is on fire, and consumed by insanity, but there is still beauty. Tonight, I saw the Northern Lights for the first time ever. And I live in Canada. I somehow was never in the right place at the right time before, and I was beginning to wonder if it was some sort of snipe hunt prank thing that everyone was in on. But tonight, someone posted on my neighbourhood FB page that they could see them, so I went and looked out the darkest window in my home. After a few moments of my eyes adjusting... there they were. This is the only form of "gas-lighting" that I know of that is beautiful. And also possible the one time I am grateful for my FB neighbourhood page.

We had a little northern lights the other night. The display was right at the end of astronomical twilight and lasted about five minutes. Right place and right time to get them.

Randomly checked my Grafana dashboard and saw the Kp Index for last night was pretty high for a little bit. Sure enough, my camera captured a faint aurora here in CT around 1 am! (look for the pillars dancing near the bottom of the frame)

Yesterday afternoon I was on @BBCOxford talking to the lovely Alice Hopkins about how you can distinguish a display of / from festival lights. You can listen again using the link below (skip forward to 2hrs 38mins)

I don't get why people drive for miles to see the "northern lights". Here in the UK, we literally have lights installed on every street. Scandinavians are weird...

It looks like the CME just hit the atmosphere. Hopefully, it lasts until it gets dark here! It would be fun to see the northern lights tonight.
