aurora borealis

Aurorae Borealis as seen from the edge of Fairbanks, Alaska on September 21, 2007. This image is 40% size of the original. Exposure = 5 seconds, f-stop = 2.0, ISO = 100. A shorter exposure to try to catch more of the finer details that would get smeared out in a longer exposure. Big Dipper in top right of image.
