Details:
The sky looked bright to the north, I could tell by the way the clouds were silhouetted that there was a glow of some kind going on. There was structure visible as light and dark streaks especially visible near the big dipper. I grabbed the Nikon and saw the neon green in the playback screen. Made a pano and then set up for a timelapse - this was about 10 minutes. It started to fade soon after. Camera pointed north so it appears to be flowing from south to north. The airglow has been around for the past few nights, but this was the brightest so far with good structure and motion. Nikon D750, 20 mm lens, 20 sec exposure, iso 3200
