The great aurora show of May 10/11, 2024 showing rays converging to the magnetic zenith and exhibiting a variety of colours, not just the usual oxygen greens, but also reds (from oxygen as well) but also pinks here, likely from nitrogen, and also some yellow tones from the reds and greens mixing. This is one frame from a 540-frame time-lapse with the 11mm TTArtisan full-frame fish-eye lens at on the modified Canon EOS R at ISO 1600, for 7 seconds. This is looking south and was from home in southern Alberta, Canada.
