<< 10/12 < > January 6,1998. It was a long dry spell this winter, for 3 months I didn't photograph the aurora. Not many opportunities due to the weather. The following 2 pics were shot with E100S at f1.4 for 15 seconds. There was about a half moon and I used the runway beacon for lighting. This was looking NW and the spruce trees were about 200 feet from the beacon. The pic below is looking SE a few minutes earlier. I never got far from the pickup as it was -47°F at the time.
