Details:
Hi Tony, a text alert from a friend tipped me off about an aurora so I drove out the road and set up the camera, I missed an intense outburst and it had faded but I still managed to catch it with faint coloured beams, this one was my 100th aurora!. I then patrolled for Perseids and caught this nice mag +1.0 member in the Summer Triangle which had a nice orange trail. Another captured low in the E below the moon with a brighter flaring satellite. Great pre-dawn morning with Jupiter and Venus showing of in the twilight.
Canon 450D ISO1600, 18mm lens
