Swirls of auroral curtains converge at the zenith near the Big Dipper, amid some high haze adding a fuzziness to the image. This was the night of February 15/16, 2018 from the deck of the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, Churchill, Manitoba. Taken with the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 Art lens wide open.
A reasonably bright display of Northern Lights appears and performs for the first aurora group of the season at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, Churchill, Manitoba, on the night of February 11/12, 2018. The Kp Index was still low, only 0 to 1, and the Bz was often still North, but for some reason we got a decent display this night. This is the view from the north side looking north over the boreal forest. Polaris is above centre. This is a single shot with the Rokinon 12mm lens and Nikon D750.
