A panorama of the Northern Lights along my northern horizon from home in southern Alberta, on October 7/8, 2018, Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. After much weather delay the harvest was in fact in progress, thus the lights from combines and trucks to the north at left. The canola field where I am standing was harvested just that afternoon. The predictions were for a Kp5 to 6 display, but it seemed lower at Kp4 and never became more than a horizon arc with little activity from my location. Sites in far northern Alberta and the NWT saw a great display. Capella and the Pleiades are rising at right. The Big Dipper is low in the northwest at left. This is a stitch of 5 segments, each with the 24mm Sigma Art lens at f/4, and Nikon D750 at ISO 1600, for 30 seconds each. Stitched with Adobe Camera Raw.
A bright sky-filling aurora at Tibbitt Lake on the Ingraham Trail east of Yellowknife, NWT, with the aurora lighting the ground green. This was September 8/9, 2018. The Big Dipper is at centre. This is 2.5-seconds at f/2 with the Venus Optics 15mm lens and Sony a7IIII at ISO 3200.
