A gentle dim green glow on the northern horizon that developed into an arc that slowly hardened before become bright in parts and flicking jets upward to the zenith before fading - and repeating for an hour or so...

I kept my eye
on solar activity, knowing that I might have a good chance
of seeing aurora when I fly to London. The flight path took
me over western Ontario, the Hudson and James Bays, across
southern Greenland. If the conditions are right, this is
ideal aurora territory. Well, this week I saw that conditions
were right, so I packed my 24mm f/1.4L and 40D for the flight.
Just as we crossed from northern Minnesota into Ontario,
I was able to see some dim aurora. The show really picked
up over Ontario, peaking over James Bay. I took about 200
shots, all handheld. To minimize shake, I shot wide open
at ISO 3200. The images were quite nice, a lot less chroma
noise than the 20D. Still noisy at 3200, but perfectly good
and easy to clean up with Noise Ninja. Exposure times ranged
from about 1/4s to 2s, all wide open at f/1.4. |

It was not an
easy night. An atmosphere a little dense and a very dominant
full moon. The Auroras were almost the whole time in the
distant horizon, very shy for the near encounters. But good,
something was made.

Finally,
after a month or so with rain and a cloudy sky we got an
at least almost clear sky and some 'light' auroras playing
on the sky! Somewhat special since the moon was up too,
some light clouds filtered the moon a little. Photo #3 is
with the moon and some light auroras !!

Not too bad of a night considering the bright moonlight!
