Ok, 4 real quick, straight from the camera raw to your eyes, not processed beyond CaptureOne defaults.

Picked at random from the thumbnails - a few with the cloud showing how bright it was, and a later one after the cloud had moved.

Nature is impressive.

📷 As usual, my go to lens is the widest, fastest one - the Samyang/Rokinon 12mm f/2

An aurora fills most of the frame, with stark grey clouds filtering the red/pink glow above the typical green, closer to the horizon. Distant water reflects the green sky, and tree lined hills are just visible in the distance.

The cloud is starting to thin out compared to the previous images, with most of the top half of the frame a reddish pink glow.
An aurora fills most of the lower half of the frame, with a red/pink glow above the typical green, closer to the horizon. Distant water reflects the green sky, and tree lined hills are just visible in the distance. The cloud has thinned out almost completely compared to the previous images, a few sparse patches to the left.

And as always (when I get it right), here is the animation from stills - originally* 815 images at 10seconds, f/4, iso2500.

• reduced to maybe <700 images as it faded, editing in shotcut

A timelapse sequence of animated still images of an aurora, from before it peaked in brightness, to an hour or so afterwards when it was fading, but still quite visible. Dark cloud streaks across the sky as the green to red/pink colours shine through, abstract patterns in the sky and clouds showing nature at it's best.
