Beauty of the Aurora Corona - a photo on Flickriver

Beauty of the Aurora Corona

This 64x10s (3s gaps) time lapse clip during the maximum intensity of the G5, Kp9 northern lights storm (11 May) shows the corona formation converging over the magnetic pole. This was only 13 minutes during a nearly 90 minute display. Of all the types that the aurora can form, the corona is my favorite. It is unusually very ephemeral and is therefore rarely seen.

The APS sensor used in many dSLR cameras recorded a very saturated red aurora (www.flickr.com/photos/cloud_spirit/53713593711). In post-processing, I color corrected as close to what the eye saw. Tech specs: Fujifilm X-T5, 16mm f/3.6, iso 1600, exp 10s.
