A quickie aurora shot [View all]

This is just a quick jpeg, barely processed, not even my most impressive shot, but it'll give you something pretty to look at. It's probably going to be a couple weeks before I can get serious about these shots. This is Mt. Dillon, and the aurora here went all the way across the sky overhead. The light is from the full moon.
