Description

Hopping in the bandwagon. I went out last night to image like normal not even thinking about the Auora because I'm at latitude 38N. While at my dark site my homegirl encouraged me to take a pic with my phone and what do you know, there it is. Dusting off the DSLR I had absolutely no idea what I was doing having never experienced (let alone photographed) this phenomenon before.

Shortly after dark the small lot in the middle of nowhere I was in filled up with at least 200 people. I was completely baffled and learned from one of them that someone posted the spot on Reddit earlier that day and it blew up. As a result I got barely 30 minutes of useable deep sky data thanks to the constant car headlights and I had to literally stand at the scope to make sure no one bumped it from 10pm to 4am 🙃. It was.... An experience...
