Nice Pano! We don't get the Aroras like this down here in South Dakota.

Hi Kim,
Auroras are a very tricky thing to predict, but when astronomers spot a solar flare or a coronal explosion on the Sun, it can often be a sign that auroras are imminent two or three days later. This past weekend, there was an extreme aurora activity visible all the way to Texas. Here's a few links for aurora forecasts and activity...

Hi Kim,
Unfortunately, I live within a big city so I do have to travel out
if I want to get a good view. For these recent pictures I took, I drove 3 hours drive north of Ottawa to an area that completely lacked light pollution. Auroras are a tricky thing to predict, but when astronomers spot a solar flare or a coronal explosion on the Sun, it can often be a sign that auroras are imminent two or three days later. This past weekend, there was an extreme aurora activity visible all the way to Texas, unfortunately I was totally clouded out here. Here's a few links where you can stay tune on aurora forecasts and activity...

Hi Kim,
I've been trying to send you a response about the auroras since yesterday, and for some reason it's not showing up on UF. Can you let me know if you did receive it?
Thanks!

Pierre,
How do you know if there is going to be an aurora? Or do you live outside of town and can see them from where you live?

Hi Kim,
Thank you very much for your comments. I'm glad you like it so much. The panoramic does cover a large portion of the northern horizon. I found the single frames didn't quite cut it in being able to show the beautiful circular shape.... so I just had to try a panorama. I'm glad it turned out the way it did. I hope you have a chance to see a good aurora... it can be a sight that you will never forget. Thanks again!

Thank you Amanda. I was really lucky to be where I was on that night. The location had zero light pollution and is completely isolated from all cities. The aurora came as a complete surprise. Furtunately, I had all my camera stuff with me and was shooting away all night. I took about 300 photos :))

I love the Northern Lights (or more accurately, pictures of the Northern Lights, as I have only ever seen them three times, and not very vibrant displays!)
This went directly into my favourites folder... the panormaic gives it such a scope of how large it was and you did an amazing job stitching them together seamlessly.
Great use of trees and hills to add some interest to the foreground as well.

OH YA! The Panoramic!!!!! What can I say Pierre. With this picture it's like really being there! This shot is amazing for so many reasons it's hard to list them all.
Very well done ....as if you didn't already know my feeling on this one ) You know you've inspired me to give one of these a shot myself, the next time I'm out shooting an aurora!!!
Excellent work Pierre!
