Northern Lights from Pocklington
Apologies for the repetitive series of posts today, but it's rare to have the opportunity to photograph a good display from the aurora borealis (Northern Lights) in East Yorkshire. A strong and persistent solar storm hit the Earth on 23rd March 2023 and my aurora alert App started to ping. A quick glance out of a north facing window confirmed both clear skies AND visible aurora! That was enough to send us all scurrying for coats, boots, camera and tripod and see us on a brisk trot up a hill behind the house to get clear of the streetlighting. Thankfully, the mild weather and the exertion was enough for us to stay warm for over an hour of aurora watching and photography. I took over 200 frames, almost back to back, so will likely post a pseudo time-lapse movie once I have assembled the frames to export them as an mp4 or avi.
Processed from raw using Capture One Pro 23 and then denoised using Topaz denoise v3.7.
