Description

What a spectacle. This is stitched-together panorama shot from my rooftop around 00:35 CEST on 2024-05-11.

The yellow-orange stuff at the bottom is, of course, the sodium vapor light pollution dome of the center of Ghent.

The aurora was easily visible with the naked eye, tough colorless, and at first I mistook it for cirrus clouds. The pillars stretched from the top of my roof (around 30deg above the horizon) to the zenith and a little bit was even visible in the southern direction.
