Petyo auaroa!
On my last night in Canada, a few weeks ago, debbiestrongphotography and I went up to moriane lake to catch the milky way. rachel_jones_ross decided to sit this one out, as she had some things to attend to - but kept an eye on Aurora data for us to relay via satellite phone. Oddly enough, the Aurora data never showed anything noteworthy. However, out of habit, I always do north facing test images - just to see.
Well, while at moraine, a test image revealed that there was some auroral activity! So Debbie and I packed up and headed over to peyto. As we have been trying to get Aurora over this lake for a week or so already. Ha!
I am super thrilled to have been able to catch this small Aurora show, while the moonlight lit up the valley quite beautifully. However, I missed the good show by a mere 24 hours. Lol! (The images I posted from the lighthouse in Michigan). Debbie and Rachel got some beautiful images from the better showing. Lol... But alas! Beggars cant be choosers.. and someday I'll be there at the right time. #paitence
:) It's still a gorgeous location and always a good night under the stars!
