A number of people have lost sleep this week courtesy of the cosmic lightshow in the heavens. Jen is by no means alone in that regard. I got home after 4 AM this morning from photographing at the lake. Here's one image from the session this morning.
The rest of the images from a couple of sessions this week are uploaded onto a gallery on my website at:
Coastal Beacons / Cosmic Storm There is also a 25 frame animated sequence of the Celestial Dance of the
Aurora borealis on the following web page -- just click the central image to load the 2.9 Mbyte animation. The individual images in the animation were shot as 1 sec exposures at 1 frame/sec at f/2.8 using a 14 mm ultrawide angle lens at iso = 1600. The movement of the aurora in this animation shows the extent of motion from second to second.
