Incredibly short Aurora session 19-4-24

[AstroNebulee]

Hi

A timelapse and still from the completely short Aurora on 19-4-24 here in Delabole, North Cornwall. Completely washed out by the bright moon. Blink and you'll miss it but Aurora was seen. But 2 Aurora events in 3 days here is nothing to be sniffed and so chuffed, even if this one didn't live up to expectations and was quickly over.

 

Taken with Canon 600D and Samyang 14mm f2.8 lens 6 sec exposures at 1600iso. 

 

Cheers and clear skies

Great work, Lee.  Fantastic to get two nights out of three.  That's better than I did in Norway in February!! 🤣🤣

Thank you Paul that very kind of you to say. It as a shame the Aurora readings didn't hold on from earlier in the evening. 

Let Cornwall be the new Norway 😂

Hope you're well. 

Clear skies
