Northern Lights - Aurora Borealis

[TheDouglas78]

You could see them faintly if you had some eclipse glasses as far south as the everglades.

There were Northern lights in KY again last night. Of the course the camera lens enhances what is actually visible however I could actually see the pink sky in the last photos.

I had meant to go out to see if they were visible from near my house but I forgot. Maybe tonight I can see them...

Those are really nice pics. Did you photograph them in night vision mode?

yes, it leaves the lens open long enough to capture more colors. You can tell where the colors are in the sky but the camera really enhances it. It's not nearly this bright but the pinks and greens are visible on their own.

Had them here in PA last night as well. Wife was going bonkers trying to get pics. Some around here were nice, others meh. I spent the whole evening on work calls with China so yeah... life sucks sometimes, and seeing the AB remains on my bucket list.

Finished a "trip of a lifetime" to Alaska about 3 weeks ago. Full fall color that was just unbelievable. Only got one clear night at a place NE of Fairbanks called Chena Hot Springs resort. To say that we got a great Northern Lights show is an understatement. Quirky little place, and one of its features is a DC 6, 35 feet up in the air on poles. Here is our unique light picture:

For some reason the picture doesn't show well on here, but one of many with the Big Dipper.

Heading to Anchorage in a couple weeks (Halloween with the grand babies including the very new grandaughter). I expect to see plenty of these!

Now, now Layla. You seem a little grumpy. It probably has to do with the weather trying to kill you this week.
You will feel much better when you get the AC and water turned back on. Hang in there.

Went to a funeral on Saturday afternoon and wound up getting home well after dark. While driving home I noticed the color of the sky was very similar to a few months back when the aurora borealis lights were visible. I didn't try photographing it because I was driving but I'm pretty sure I could have.
