HoarfrostHubb Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I know that was with a bit of a long exposure, but I wonder how it looked to the naked eye. Breathtaking I have only ever seen them once. In the late 1980s in Lowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breathtaking I have only ever seen them once. In the late 1980s in Lowell Seems like it was a similar aurora to the one last November. Ekster saw both and compared them similarly, this one maybe being a shorter duration on the intense stuff. But in November I know I was able to make out different colors with the naked eye, and see movement of the curtains and pillars. I would describe it as a dull glow, but it was bright enough that you didn't need time for your eyes to adjust before you could see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I know that was with a bit of a long exposure, but I wonder how it looked to the naked eye. Breathtaking Usually just the greens at the horizon will be visible with such a weak display. The vertical rays may have appeared faintly whitish. I'm guessing he really tweaked the saturation up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vertical rays may have appeared faintly whitish. I'm guessing he really tweaked the saturation up too. Yeah, that scene strikes me as one of those cases where somebody standing right next to you wouldn't believe the picture is real. The advent of digital photography has probably added at least 10 degrees of latitude onto the southern extent of aurora hunting. It's a beautiful picture, and photographing the night sky is always an enriching experience, but it's easy to create inflated expectations of mid-latitude auroras with a fast lens, a 30-second exposure, some "minor" (wink wink) tonal enhancements in photoshop, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's posted a few times on here...good friends with "ADK" poster.It's tweaked but I think it looks better like that. I'd print that up. The clouds below summit explain why we couldn't see anything in town haha. Looks like you can see the lights of Montreal too on the left horizon.

Juliancolton Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I'm not saying there's anything untoward about enhanced aurora shots... the ones posted above are magical, to be sure. It's just important to remember that the camera always offers an alternative view to what is seen with the naked eye. Sometimes we consider it inferior, and other times it looks miles better than what we remember. Personally I've photographed faint auroras from my home three or four times over the past couple years (including last night), but I've yet to see them with the naked eye. My shots don't look anywhere near as impressive as the ones from NNE, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My shots don't look anywhere near as impressive as the ones from NNE, though. Since moving to PWM, I think I'm up to four sightings with the naked eye in four years. Not a bad return rate, and I'm not exactly chasing them either. Those are just the ones I happened to be at the office on an evening or midnight shift for.

Juliancolton Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Jeremy Gilchrist nailed it. Don't know if you saw the whole series (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=11832585&sk=photos&collection_token=11832585%3A2305272732%3A69&set=a.10102114764955989.1073741896.11832585&type=1) but if you toggle through the first several shots, it's almost like a flipbook showing the subtle movement in the curtains.

eekuasepinniW Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Amazing similarities to all the Auroras taken, just beautiful pics. Lets not forget that we're looking at something that is 50-80 miles high... basically everyone in this forum saw the exact same thing with only minor changes in elevation above the horizon depending on latitude.
