The beautiful Northern Lights, slow and lingering in the sky due to a little bit weaker solar activity from prior discharges of the sun. Peaceful over the Boreal forest in northern Canada.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds.
Flowing in the night sky. An exemplar clip of greener Northern Lights typical of northern latitudes during a solar maximum. Long exposures and low ‘coma’ (comatic aberration). Temps: Sub-zero (F) at ground-level.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
25 seconds and 23 frames.
…which strobe, creep, and flow in the night sky. The continuation of another clip. High Cirrus, highlighted in red by normal light pollution from one of the most northern towns of Alberta, stand against the bright green of the northern lights. It is likely coincidence that makes the clouds and Aurora seem connected in some ways at parts of the sky. There is no ground horizon shown exempt for a small outline of trees in the bottom-right of the frame.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
7 seconds and 27 frames.
The view over sub-arctic woods at night. One of the last areas this far north with any significant light pollution (man-made light that has a significant impact on the darkness of the night), the Northern Lights are observable in the distant thermosphere, around 65 miles above the Earth. This clip contains the lowest amount of transforming aurora in the entire collection.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
7 seconds and 65 frames.
The full moon, low in the sky, passes through low-density clouds as it rises from the night horizon, light filtered through the extra atmosphere. It moves upwards and towards the right of the frame.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
10 seconds and 20 frames.
A towering complex of clouds at sunrise, with the sun outside the frame. The point of view is angled steeply upward and southerly. Where the sun glows in amber and gold on the clouds exposed to its light, both delicate outer edges of denser towering clouds and nebulous areas from later in convection are brightly illuminated. Almost certain is the probability these clouds will produce rain later in the day.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds and 24 frames.
… which strobe, creep, and flow in the night sky. Comprised of charged particles, the lights are playing on the magnetism of the Earth. Mid-level stratus clouds are lit by town lights far away. Long exposures and low ‘coma’ (comatic aberration).
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
30 seconds and 15 frames.
