Aurora Borealis in California and Nevada
I added two successively cropped views of the aurora borealis time-lapse from early yesterday morning so you can see more detail:

    Ah, Aurora! NICE, Jeff Sullivan !!!

    August 2000, I was at South Tufa for the Perseids. Under a nearly few days after-full moon, unfortunately. After being lakeside around midnight, I took a nap in the car, waking up around 3am or so. It took figuring it wasn't my eyes, or the windshield, to realize there was an aurora above the lake. I returned to the lake and enjoyed the shimmering curtain until the morning twilight drowned it out of the sky.

    My one and only image that captured it in any detail was around midnight, when it was pretty much washed out by the moonlight, with a 35mm camera, more accident than purposeful. It was there but I didn't "see" it! None of the "intentional" 6x6 frames recorded it later on.

    When I got home, I checked the spaceweather.com site to see if I had missed some notification. It had been only about a 20% chance at mid-latitudes. Had I been aware, I wouldn't have had any worthwhile degree of expectations, and wouldn't have had the mindset to even look. With the bright moonlight, it was about as washed out as the meteor shower.

    Sometime, luck plays a card that's completely unexpected!

Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video)

Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video) The Orionid Meteor Shower this year was a bit of a dud. I was shooting up at 11,000 feet in the White Mountains and ran my camera for about 4 hours, from 10:40pm Friday until 2:50am, well after the moon came up. To see how a much more active meteor shower looks, here's one of my Perseid Meteor Shower videos from the same location, displayed on the Discover Magazine blog, best viewed full screen: Perseids, Writ Large http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/08/25/perseids-writ-large/ I have a number of posts on my blog www.MyPhotoGuides.com * related to night shooting and timelapse videos. Here's one of the more recent ones building on those pasts posts: Create a Timelapse Video of a Meteor Shower http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/08/create-timelapse-video-of-meteor-shower.html I'm curious to see how an HD 720P video gets displayed on G+. I have a ton of timelapse footage that I haven't foun...
