Details:
These pictures are from the; G3 storm.
Aurora arcs visible directly overhead even at dusk. At midnight(Alaska time)a G3 storm hit and the aurora were moving very fast with reds visible to the naked eye. The corona passed overhead during this time. At 3AM (Sept. 11) a G2 storm hit and again the corona passed overhead. Interestingly, the aurora was mainly seen south, whereas it is usually mainly seen north of Fairbanks; this indicates big time aurora action.
Nikon 300D, 8mm Fisheye at f3.5, mainly 2 sec exposures at ISO 3200. Note: the camera slightly accentuates the reds and tints them toward the purple.
