Aurora

Posted on

I've always wanted to see this.

A faint purple aurora with the silhoutted telegraph pole in the foreground in the lower left. A thicker band of the aurora is visible on the right side of the image A hazier image of the purple aurora with some stars also clearly visible. The silhoutted telegraph pole also appears again in the lower left A dead tree, cut down to the trunk years ago, dominates this image of a blue sky with a purple blob of Aurora appearing as if it is the tree glowing A wider shot of a faint purple aurora with the silhoutted telegraph pole in the foreground

Taken this evening in the south east of the UK. I'll be honest, I wasn't sure it was the aurora - it was a faint purple haze in the sky to my eyes - until I took some Night Sight photos, which gave some of the images a bit of definition.

As the pictures are taken on a phone, and an old one at that, using Night Sight, they're not that great. But still, I think they look awesome.

I would love to see it further north in all its glory though.
