Bit more of a stretch in photoshop plus I found another image I took a short while later from a neighbours loft:

Last post by Roberto - Oct 12, 2024, 10:30:24

A few I had posted in the chat but not here.  Planets acquired with the 10" f/20 Maksutov.  The aurora is with a handheld Samsung Galaxy S23+ phone and the allsky camera.

For quite a bit of the early evening we were seeing patches of green sky through the gaps in the clouds...

It was, at times, very bright. Friends in Berlin managed to get similar photos.

Also, there was a lot of variation in the intensity over quite short intervals. We got a brief moment when the clouds were lit almost like a sunset...

I've been comparing my images to some that show vivid colours and asking myself why my reds were not very intense.  I now realise why.  Those shots were taken when the aurora was at its most intense and more or less filled the sky from horizon to directly above.  So the red is a mixture of the intense red and the green.  Compare with this one, where I've captured the top of the red:



I've also tried to present the images as I perceived them at the time - with fairly dark adapted vision.  If I had paid thousands to go and see this in Iceland, I'd have come home quite happy

Sorry Carole,

Yet another Aurora image.



Image taken near Bromley Tesco (Bortle 7) at 10:34

I did try to put this on WhatsApp but I think that images must be heavily compressed because it did not show The Plough which is my favourite part. Polaris is visible just below the top edge.

Nothing was visible to the eye but this was taken on my iPhone 11 Pro Max (26mm f1.8 1.1 seconds ISO1600)

Loved everyone's Aurora images.
