A framing of the converging rays of aurora overhead at the magnetic zenith, a little south of the true zenith at 90° altitude. This was the superb Kp6 to 7 display on March 23, 2023, with the aurora in a pulsating mode rather than forming rippling curtains. Leo is below the convergence point. At this time later in the display the rays showed a lot of red as well as green. A short exposure helped freeze the rapid pulsations and capture the structure. This is a single 2-second exposure with the Venus Optics 15mm lens at f/2 and Canon R6 at ISO 3200.
