A selfie of me watching the aurora on March 20/21, 2020 from my rural backyard. This was the spring equinox and auroras often park in activity around the equinoxes. This was the first display seen locally for some time though the Kp Index was low, no more than 2 or 3. This was about 12:30 am MDT. The night before I had been shooting aurora selfies from Churchill, Manitoba. I had just got home from the evening flight from Winnipeg and unpacked the camera to shoot this. Cassiopeia is at left, Vega is the bright star at right. This is a single 15-second exposure with the Sony a7III at ISO 1600 and Venus Optics 15mm at f/2.
A selfie of me under the aurora borealis in Churchill, Manitoba, March 19, 2020. This was at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre looking north to the boreal forest. This is a single 10-second exposure at f/2.8 with the Canon 15mm full-frame fish-eye lens on the Canon EOS Ra camera at ISO 3200.
