Aurora from Friday night

[Jameel Hyder]

I had hoped to go upto the mountains to capture this friday night. Unfortunately, something important came up which got me back home around 11pm. I tried to capture what I could that night from my backyard. The peak show was mostly over but there was still some action.

A couple of images from my attempts to capture the color show

C&C Welcome

This one using the full spectrum converted camera

Wow - nicer than anything I could make out. Way too much ambient light in my neighborhood to see things like this.

Very cool Jameel. I like both, but especially the 2nd one. It's a bit different then what everyone is posting.

It just dawned on me why you didn't see it Alan. The Light Pollution would have been too much from your house. You would have needed to have driven away from the city a bit to see it.

That is correct - I was using the @Kyle Jones Northern Lights Expedition Cookbook

Thanks Alan. It wasn’t very visible to make eye at first. Viewing through the cell phone camera revealed the colors. Quite a tool.

Thanks Jim. The pinks and magenta were stronger and fan greens which isn’t what I expected.

I had read that using an iPhone would bring things out using the Night Mode in the camera app and did take a few shots but it would take a strong imagination to say you could see the aurora in those shots.

Almost like a watercolor wash. I could see a whole wall like that!

Thanks Mike. I missed the peak action and the fact that I couldn't head to a darker site. Hopefully there is another opportunity down the road.
