Aurora 20230423

One of the biggest and best aurora displays I've seen.

Sunset turned to twilight and the clouds dispersed on cue right as the display exploded, more than filling the field of view even at 8mm (12mm-e) on my ultrawide lens - pillars and rays stretching up past Polaris even to the zenith.

Mesmerising just to stand in front of it.

Prints etc: shiny.photo/gallery/aurora

@xylophilist Is that the moon behind a cloud in the 3rd shot? The clouds did not part where I was, alas, and also, it seems like I might have been focused in the wrong direction (more northerly)
