Looking through my DSLR photos from last night, it's clear I was more interested in watching the aurora than photographing it 😬
And I thought about binning this shot for being massively out-of-focus 🙄
But y'know, it has a certain colourful charm, not least because Ursa Major is writ large in the corner, & maybe it's fine to just go with the flow 🤷♂️
If the #AuroraBorealis is still spectacular tonight, I'm going to climb a hill in a dark rural area to see the lights in the sky. It's the same spot we chose to watch the comet Hale-Bopp go by. Y'all remember that? It was cool, but this . . . this is something altogether way up on the amazement scale. photo courtesy of the City of Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Funny how many folks up north don’t realise that the #AuroraBorealis is not the only #Aurora - there is also the #AuroraAustralis down in the southern parts
Once in a while nature decides to put up a show that we only dream about seeing one day. Yesterday was one such day. Here are some shots from the northern lights that greeted us after sun down. Absolutely spectacular, breathtaking and ethereal!
The #AuroraBorealis last night. Long exposure with my nice camera.
Where I was it mostly looked like light pollution with streaking in the sky. Sometimes you could see hints of green and pink. The camera really saved the day.
Was für eine Nacht. Mit Polarlicht war ja zu rechnen, aber die Intensität hat mich dann doch umgehauen!
Kleine Anmerkung zu den Bildern, das Auge nimmt die Farben nicht so intensiv wahr. Ich hänge euch noch eine andere Version an die mehr dem visuellen Eindruck entspricht. #Polarlichter#aurora#auroraborealis#Astrodon#Nachthimmel
What a night, huh?
J'ai réussi à faire quelques photos malgré les aléas techniques, mais l'essentiel reste gravé dans ma rétine... Ma première aurore, qui plus est à domicile !

A little "behind the scenes" of yesterdays session. You can clearly see the purplish nebula-esque colors of the beautiful aurora, with my timelapse camera in the front - (which I actually wanted to use for a bit of vlogging and landscape photography ^^).
The aurora surely surprised us! (luckily my gf also decided to join me yesterday and what a good decision it was :D)
