The grand sweep of the aurora borelis across the northern and northeastern sky, from Tibbitt Lake near Yellowknife, NWT, on September 8, 2018. The Big Dipper and Polaris are at left; Auriga and Taurus are rising at right, with Capella, Aldebaran and the Pleiades coming up in the east. Cassiopeia and Perseus are at top in the Milky Way. There’s a meteor streaking down at top as well! This is a mean-combined stack of 8 exposures for the ground to smooth noise, and one exposure for the sky, all 15 seconds at with the 12mm Rokinon full-frame fish-eye lens, and Nikon D750 at ISO 6400. This was part of a time-lapse, taken before the arc swept overhead while it was still across the north and east.
