Aurora in S Ontario last evening
scotty1 replied to Harold C's topic in Imaging - Smartphone / Tablets
Nice captures I see your cat was checking out the Aurora too. I wonder if cats can see Aurora, as they have very good low light vision. -
Noticed there were forecasts for a possible G2 on Spaceweather, didn't expect much. Seems to be one of the best times of year for strong Auroras. Luckily the cloud cleared about 23.15, was halfway into bed and thought, may as well head out a couple of miles north of town. After I checked here and saw mcrowie had pics from Cornwall, I thought must be worth a go, but often it's quite a brief show. These are from a Pixel 4a in astro mode. Just before midnight Then i returned home and picked up another battery for my camera, and went out again 03.00 to get this shot with my phone. One from the camera 03.15- 03.40 there were white pillars like searchlights, at first I thought these were coming from a light source in nearby towns.

@MessierMatt I think DT is dark table 🤫 I've used RT before, i can't compare it to other RAW developers as I've not tried them. One thing I found with RT is the noise reduction seems a bit inconsistent, or it maybe a lack of practice, although I've had good results with it.

Strange light in the sky....
scotty1 replied to Lambda1974's topic in Observing - Widefield, Special Events and Comets
The light traveling from right to left looks like an aircraft. The other patch of light could be from a security light or similar, somewhere out of shot reflecting on your lens. There is a similar patch of light later on in the video. ( lower left 1.57) DIstant lightning also -
The last four evenings have been cloudy, I missed the close conjunction. But a gap before it was dark on 7th March , a quick shot with the phone.

Aurora Suffolk...

Good captures Was this on Sunday about 9pm? -
There is a bit of red on camera hereabouts, but not too much ATM.
-
The Glendale app was off for a while yesterday too, but it was working around 11pm- 1am. I thought it was too busy or something.

Aurora watch is red ATM 19.00 https://aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk/

Last night the humidity was relatively low compared to our usual damp atmosphere. I think this helped the sightings of Aurora. When it's humid the light pollution domes from towns flare up. I missed the first round at 9 pm onwards, I was out taking photos of Jupiter and Venus untill 8.30 pm, but had to get home to make meal and sort pets out. Decided to go out again about 11.30 pm . My camera was picking the Aurora up but there was nothing to the eye. These are from the phone in astro mode PXL_20230226_235024638.NIGHT~4.mp4

First time I've been able to report aurora on camera to the Glendale app. How do you add photos to the gallery on the app?
