Aurora Australis overhead, 11th May 2024, from Hobart, Tasmania. Not sure if this would qualify as an Auroral Corona or not but it appears to meet in the middle !

30 second out-of-focus shot. Some manipulation required as I couldn't get it 'out-of-focus' enough and some bright stars showed up as white discs (Denebola for instance).
A blue hour dusk view of Mosahnjúkur and the mountain ridges stretching southwest from Sveinstindur next to Langisjor glacial lake. Note the encroaching low level clouds encroaching - inversion?
Part of the significant geomagnetic storm observing in Puget Sound on evening of 5/10 morning of 5/11. Taken in Mt. Vernon, WA.
The Internationsal Space Station streaks low across a hazy summer sky. The high humidity makes the skyglow more apparent than usual in this long exposure.
M13 Hercules globular cluster.
There's an extremely faint galaxy just to the right, below the center of the image, and a brighter galaxy further to the right, above the center of the image.
385x30sec exposures for a total of 3.2 hrs combined exposure.

A view of the Myrdalsjökull ice cap in the distance to the southeast from Sveinstindur mountain at Langisjor lake. At center is the Moon setting, at half full phase. Note all of the mountain ridges line towards the southwest, as the lake itself does.
The melody from Dvorak's New World Symphony plays at 6pm each night of the week, all year around, it seems. This photo is an hour later than the playback, but does record commuters returning to their homes via this main shopping street of the old city center.
I definitely win the award for the least charismatic image and maybe for the most "deep field".

The curved surface sloped away from the rest of the building is eye-catching, especially in the glowy light of this evening, sun low and blanks of low clouds just out of reach from the gap in the sky where the sun pours out light that reflects off the cloud base and skitters around the surfaces on the ground.
