Description

As last night's major G5 geomagnetic storm was winding down, I took 120 two-second exposures of the Milky Way. 

There was still plenty of residual ionization in the subs to get a fairly unique result.

Processing was a challenge, because typical star color calibration and light pollution removal wanted to remove the faint aurora.
