More Aurora Borealis action last night. An active solar storm brought the Aurora very far south between Helena and Great Falls. Kp-5.33, Proton Density-5, IMF-6, Solar Wind-600. This far south your naked eye does not pick up the color like a camera sensor does. You will see the glow and the streaks and curtains but not the color. 4/15/2015. Someday I'd love to see this in AK or in the far north.

And Lonnie, ditto on your eclipse composite -- fantastic work.
It figures that all year I waited for aurora in NZ but got skunked by weather almost every time; and then the evening that I leave, they get three consecutive nights (and running) of fantastic aurora displays.
At least I got to shoot the Chicago skyline. Experimented with doing a stitched panorama for a cityscape. 11-shot panorama, each one at 200mm:

Thanks Fuzz! Great job on the Pano. Too bad you missed them at home. I'm trying to figure out if I really got lucky or if these are present more often and I just haven't been tuned in.
Supermodel-google aurora borealis, there is a ton of good reading on them.
Been out the last 3 nights and am a bit sleep deprived so this may be the last one..... unless that kp# hits 6 or 7.:)

Still working out how to get them hudge...
Lonnie, yours shows as protected by owner.
Went to San Francisco for a few days to visit friends and managed to get to Marin Headlands for sunset -- what great views!
7-frame pano (at 70mm each):

^^^ Nice. Love the last one.
What's the FL on the Moon Shot?
Yeah, beautiful kestrel!
Thanks AD!
Lonnie- the moon was shot at 500mm and a significant crop.
One shot?Quote:
