Details:
The last of an all-sky aurora fades into the encroaching dawn on August 23, as Orion (at right) and the winter stars rise into a summer morning. The Pleiades and the stars of Taurus are at upper right. The Big Dipper is at lower left. Polaris is at upper left. Gemini is low, at the end of the auroral curtain at right, while Procyon is just rising below, in a “heliacal rising” jiust before the dawn.
I shot this from home at 5 am but got set up just a little too late to catch the display at its best over most of the sky. This is a single 10-second exposure at f/2.8 with the 15mm lens at Canon 6D at ISO 1600, shot from home in southern Alberta.
