Aurora

August 24, 2024  •  Leave a Comment

It was disappointing to miss the spectacular northern lights last Mother's Day, but here are some from a recent family camping trip Downeast. I was packing light so only brought a Nikkor 18 mm f/3.5 AIS lens for the D750 and the 15-45mm for the Fuji. All images are processed RAW files set to Daylight white balance in Lightroom 6.14.

Just after sunset:

Keep watch for the Big Dipper in many of the aurora images. Many times you will see the Milky Way again and you might catch a few meteors although I missed the brightest.

The next of from the main part of the campground (Cobscook Bay State Park).

We couldn't see these colors, but we could see streaks and a brightness in the sky. It took the long exposure of the camera to reveal the aurora.

From the campsite:

The next night the aurora wasn't quite as bright, but it was still nice.

And the last image over the playground.

This one seems to have a part of the trail of a meteor.

There are a couple more experimental images that aren't posted here. If there is interest, I can post another.
