Okay, just one more image of the aurora that I'd like to share with you from the early morning hours of February 19th. This one was captured as I was on my way home. I was driving slowly down Old Highway 61 in Grand Portage, every now and then switching my headlights off for a few seconds to peek at the sky and see if it was worth stopping for any more shots. At one point I had to stop because the lights looked like they were picking up again. As I was setting up my tripod I could see this ribbon of color waving its way across the sky above the road. It looked to my eye like there might be a little red in it, but I didn't realize just how much until the first exposure recorded. The camera picks up a lot more color at night than what our eyes can see, as this image proves. It was a great ending to a fantastic night of aurora photography!
