Description

This time lapse show a 3 hour period during the early morning of May 11th with the wild variation of color based on the different atoms excited at different altitudes in the atmosphere.
The captures were done with Canon R8 with 10 sec exposures every 30 seconds at ISO 3200.  

I personally find watching Ursa Major setting and Cassiopeia  in the background to be very satisfying. 

Image B and C are white light solar photos taken with my Askar 400 both full disc with the 294 MC and cropped in with the ASi 178 MM. 

I found the below chart to be helpful.
