Another flashback to a night of Milky Way photography in August 2014. I was scoping out some new locations for photographing the northern lights and the stars. I hit the jackpot with this location that had been logged a few years ago. The loggers left a really nice selective stand of mature trees that silhouette beautifully against the sky. On this particular night I was focusing on making images of the stars with the trees, but as you can see in this photo the aurora made a very slight appearance. There was the softest glow low above the northern horizon. I couldn't even see it with my own eyes, but the camera was able to record it with a 30 second exposure and a high ISO setting of 6400. I can't wait to make it back to this location when there is a raging geomagnetic storm!
