The Northern Lights beginning a display on Friday, Feb 13, from Churchill, Manitoba, on the east deck of the Churchill Northern Studies Centre. The official activity level index was near 0 at this time but we still had a marvelous display due to our location directly under the auroral oval. This displayed eventually filled much of the sky. This is a single 15-second exposure at ISO 3200 and f/2.2 with the Canon 24mm lens and Canon 6D.
