Last post by Rick - Oct 11, 2024, 20:19:23Also, 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...

Astrophotography / Re: Aurora 10-Oct-2024
Last post by MarkS - Oct 11, 2024, 19:15:59I'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

Last post by JohnH - Oct 11, 2024, 16:34:02Sorry 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.
John

Last post by Carole - Oct 11, 2024, 13:57:27Great shots Mark, my goodness my Imaging presentation is going to be full to bursting with aurora this month.
I managed to get a shot from my road even at Bortle 8 even with the street lights last night, which I will post up later.

Last post by Carole - Oct 11, 2024, 13:55:17Thanks for posting rick, shame there were so many clouds, so difficult to see the aurora in the mono videos.
I'll probably post up some screen shots of the colour version at the peaks as it's a bit long and loads of aurora pictures to show.
