Day 20 blog entry.
Saturday 28 May 2022 - 1:37 AM: Distracting Aurora
As I set up my barn door tracker, DSLR camera, intervalometer, and dew heating system for another Milky Way series, I noticed a glow in the north. Could it be?
OK, OK. Turned the camera to the north and took a quick shot. Yep! There ya go. Green. Tried a couple more shots as spires, over 20 degrees tall, easily visible to the naked eye, danced to and fro.
Canon 40D, Rokinon 8mm, f/5.6, ISO 1600, 30 seconds, tripod, manually focused.
(High-rez photo uploaded to the gallery but unfortunately I don’t know when it will be synced.)
