Here's a northern lights shot from last night. It's a vertical shot, so if you haven't changed your setting to see the entire picture, you will need to tap it, click it or smash it to see the entire image.
Last night, a dream came true - I saw and captured the Aurora Borealis (aka Northern Lights) over Rhossili Bay. I've had this location in mind for years if the conditions were right. And last night it happened!
We finally made it! This is the result of a group of 15 amateur astronomers (which I am part of) who have shared their data in an effort to get as much data on this pair of galaxies as possible. The result is over 400h of exposure time (where over 200 are in narrow band Hydrogen-Alpha).
This allowed us to create the deepest and most detailed image of M81 and M82 probably done by amateur astronomers ever! The red, faint Hydrogen "exploding" outwards from Messier 82 is truly a sight to be seen.
I love sunset, especially sunset on the coast. The wet sand reflects the rocks in the sea, as well as the sky overhead. The horizon is layered with purple, rust, gold, cream, and the last of day's light glows outside of the encroaching shadows. It is quiet, peaceful, calm, reflective.
