The sky had a faint reddish glow most of the night but finally around midnight, saw red patch of light and lower near the horizon, a green patch. There was also a large pillar of greenish white light visible. Canon A40, f/2.8, ISO 400, 15 seconds.

Canon G5 digital camera, 10-seconds, 400 ISO at 11:26 p.m. C.S.T. The green auroral arc suddenly lit up with red rays in a symphony of color and activity, fairly fast motion of rays led to an expression of awe caught in this image.

Very vivid Aurora. Kodak Gold film at 400 ASA. Pentax 35 mm camera with 50 mm lens.

An amazing continuous display of Aurora, lasting over 7 hours and 6000 kilometres! While airborne flying between London, England and New York, USA, we were delighted to have an active display literally follow us across the Atlantic Ocean. Always visible, the Aurora ranged from subtle patches of green, to vibrant shimmering curtains of bright red. At times the entire sky was illuminated and dancing all around us. This display uniquely never ended and repeatedly revealed the less commonly observed red hue. The Aurora was also visible from overhead London, and from overhead New York.

This Aurora was shot along the Kirkland waterfront, just around midnight. Canon S400 Digital, 100ASA, 15s exposure

There was quite a bit of cloud cover, but occationally it would part to reveal very bright green and red auroras. We watched the show for over 2 hours.

We had a beautiful clear night for the aurora display! I took these with a Canon Digital Rebel, 20mm lens, and 20 sec. exposures

Amazing!! The third shot is directly overhead. Fuji s-2 iso 400 @30 sec.

Animation of Aurora Australis with Southern Cross. Taken with Canon 10D digital camera, 800 ISO, 9x15 second exposures.

The most impressive display I've seen yet since I started photographing the lights in June 2000. I used a Canon Digital Rebel, 28mm focal, exposures 10-20 secs at ISO400. Shot RAW.

The eastern skyline as seen from one of the Northern Virginia Astronomy Club's dark-sky viewing sites. Saturn, the Twin Stars of Gemini, and the familiar outline of Orion rise above the dome of 'light pollution' from the Washington, DC metro area and the expanding 'Dulles Corridor'. The site is located about 50 miles west of downtown DC. Image is a photo-stitched panorama of two images made with a Canon PowerShot A70 digital camera set at 15s, f/2.8, ISO 100.
