A 270° panorama of the Northern Lights and aurora curtains across the southern sky, on February 22, 2023, from the grounds of the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, in Churchill, Manitoba. This was a Kp5 level aurora this night, active from twilight on and prominent here in the south at about 8:30 pm. Orion and the winter stars are embedded in the aurora at left of centre, above the old launch structures of the Churchill Rocket Range. The new Centre and the old Rocket Range headquarters building are at right. Members of the Natural Habitat tour group visiting this night are out on the observing deck at right enjoying the show. The Moon and Jupiter in close conjunction this night are low in the southwest at centre near the glow of the town lights. This is a 9-section panorama, each 25 seconds with the Venus Optics 15mm lens at f/2 and Canon R6 at ISO 1600. Stitched in Adobe Camera Raw.
