A great eruption of northern lights, quite unexpected this night.
In setting up for a time lapse, it is difficult to guess how bright the northern lights will be; the ebb and flow. One has to choose settings that work for the first shot, then keep those settings in place for several hundred shots, and walk away.
In this time lapse, some parts of the sequence are quite dark but other parts are so bright, some areas blown out with brightness. That's the way it goes sometimes.
I wanted to show the great expanse of the sky with the magnificent dynamics, the movement, and the variety of colors in the great dome of the night.
