So to continue on my previous post talking about auroral mist, this is a prime example of a quality mist like view from my camera. While most of the aurora shots you see are very bright, visible to the naked eye, these type of images are the aftermath of such storms. The energy that was brought into the earths magnetic field is dispersed, and creates a much duller to the earthly observer aurora. But with the magic of a good camera and a proper lens, we are able to capture the hidden beauty of these mist like states.

This was shot on my back porch north of Fairbanks Alaska a few months ago after a very intense substorm.
Settings were 8” exposure, 2500iso, f1.8 20mm lens.
