Dipping into aurora - Shay

New York

The aurora made a brief appearance over New York. The big dipper constellation is marked out with a faint line.

I see I need to reset the date and time on the camera. I recently reset the camera and have yet to change the default date/time.

Shay, I like how you captured this unique event, something I've never seen before. Really interesting/beautiful bands of color. The marking of the celestial "dipper" is a neat effect here too. Nice shot. MFC

Cool shot! I like the lines showing the big dipper. I wonder why the lights are tilted?

Interested shot. Did you draw the lines between stars?

Lovely shot of the Aurora Shay, and the line delineating the Dipper is a nice touch :). Is this the one you took last night? Melanie (mlynn)
