A very red-dominated aurora looking up the curtains as they converge nearly overhead. The Big Dipper is at top, and Leo at lower right, with Regulus. Jupiter is at the bottom. The Coma Berenices star cluster is at centre. This is a single 10-second exposure with the Sigma 20mm Art lens at f/1.4 and Nikon D750 at ISO 3200, taken Feb 12, 2016 from the Churchill Northern Studies Centre in Churchill Manitoba.

A wide vertical portrait of the Northern Lights in the northern sky, with the stars of the Big Dipper and Polaris above centre. Shot from the upper deck of the Churchill Northern Studies Centre on a very windy night with wind chills of -50°, so standing in the wind to take this image was bitter! You grab a few images and retreat! This is a single 15-second exposure at f/2.8 with the 15mm lens and Canon 6D at ISO 3200.
