Description

I realize other people have better photos of better light shows. But this is from my dark sky property in Shandon, CA, which was not on even the most optimistic Aurora maps. I just had to share it, not because it's the most amazing Aurora image, but because it was the most amazing event. I never thought I'd live to see the day. This is a single 7-second image with the ISO set to 1200, using my Nikon D810A and a fish-eye lens. I set it up to take a 7-minute image every 5 minutes, all night, and two of them showed this.
