RED AURORAS

The resting place of threads that were very valid in 2004, but not so much in 2024. Basically this is a giant historical archive.

Hanging out at Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP and I saw a strange, moving fine mist in the distance and photographed it with a 30 second exposure. I noticed the colors and knew it was an aurora, which is very rare this far south!

Canon Rebel T3i, 30 second exposure, 14mm lens, f/2.8.

One of the best displays Ive ever seen. For a while it was like we were under a light dome. No matter what direction we looked we could see lights shimmering and pulsating. Coronas stretched high into the sky over head.

Nikon D3/D800
One at 6 seconds, two were 10 seconds. ISO 800

Marvelous display! There were times when there wasnt a square inch of the sky that didnt have activity. The aurora were easily visible during twilight. At times the corona moved like a river of overhead light.

Back at one of my favorite spots in Yellowstone Park, in Hayden Valley overlooking the Yellowstone River. Aurora was visible shortly after sunset, with a nice substorm at around 23:00. Kp=8, not much moon, not much cloud - what could be better!

Well it is 4 AM and I have yet to sleep. I can hear my husbands alarm going off from the bedroom. We waited and waited for the aurora last night and we werent disappointed. It was almost 2 AM when the Northern Lights finally started to dance, but the show was well worth the wait. The light pillars were some of the tallest I have ever witnessed. We could see the curtain of lights stretch the whole length on Camano Island. Whidbey Island is truly an amazing place to live. Nikon D610 14mm f/2.8 ISO 1250 20s
