The great aurora display of March 6, 2016 when the sky was filled with curtains right at twilight. Green and magenta curtains of Northern Lights dance in the blue twilight. The Big Dipper is at left, the Pleiades at right. Taken as part of a time-lapse sequence at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, for projection in digital planetariums.
A 360° view of the aurora from Churchill, Manitoba, on March 3, 2016 when the lights started out extensive and fairly bright at the start of the night but then faded and subsided. The camera is aimed just east of due north. The Big Dipper is at centre. This is a frame from a 360-frame time-lapse sequence shot with the 8mm fish-eye lens and Canon 6D for projection in digital planetarium domes. Each frame was 15 seconds at f/3.5 and ISO 3200.
A very red-dominated aurora looking up the curtains as they converge nearly overhead. The Big Dipper is at left, and Gemini at far right, with Castor and Pollux. The Beehive star cluster at lower right. 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.
