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.
