So spectacular. Try not to be jealous of my research.

Exposure time: 2s
Aperture: f/1.8
ISO: 2000

one oh eight

Often the pink lower border is not seen. This aurora was getting quite spectacular. I think this was also the point in the night when I was getting quite tired, and my camera memory card was getting quite full, and my camera battery (the spare after I already changed at one point in the evening) was getting quite low. That being said, tomorrow will be the last aurora photo on the blog. Prepare yourselves.

One Hundred!

It is a big day! This is my hundredth photo on the blog! It is also April 1, which makes it feel like a more special day. So I present you with the one non-aurora photo from the set:



This is a dome outside of the science building at Poker Flat. To the right of the dome is Orion, although it might be hard to tell since the stars that are normally not very visible to the eye are looking quite bright in this photo.

Exposure time: 10s
Aperture: f/1.8
ISO: 1000

This is the last in the mini-sequence within the aurora sequence. Did you see the satellite traveling through the photos for the past week? Pretty neat, especially since I didn't know it was in the photos until I reviewed them on my computer!

Exposure time: 6s

This is the next photo in the sequence. I hope you don't get bored by the time I get through this mini-sequence that is taking place within the aurora sequence.
