SunSurfer Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 (edited) I saw the aurora for the first time in my life last night. The solar storm activity has been the strongest in the last 20+ years in the last 24 hours. If you are at latitude 40+ degrees and have clear skies tonight you are likely to be able to see it with just your eyes. I shot some photos using a tripod, wide angle lens, manual focus at infinity, ISO 200-400, f3.5, exposures between 5-10 seconds. Processed in post in Darktable to bring up the colours to a nice balance and dim the lights of Penzance in Cornwall (UK). https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10161226490853859&set=pcb.10161224322438859 (Attachment space used up) Edited May 12 by SunSurfer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
