Aurora this morning....

Post by Alto »

Looking forward to the next season when I'll be replacing the 150 degree lens with a 63 degree - hopefully fewer light sources to affect the camera software - hopefully.

Call me Geoff.

I do what I do because I want to, and because I can....

Doesn't mean I know what I'm doing, though!

WOW!!! this is absolutely fabulous and just goes to show the need for an animation :bow :bow :bow
It is such a pity that Stuart's magnetometer is offline at the moment as he loves to match it to images and you have all the timestamps etc available.

Superb!

Very interesting.
Geoff, are you in a dark sky zone as I don't see much light pollution. How many frames did you take and was it 20 secs exposures ? And over what time period, looks like a few hours there. Are you worried the sun will damage the sensor?

Thanks
Magnus
