I could tell that it was happening, but to the naked eye, it didn’t look like like the photo. For me, it doesn’t take away from the event. Yeah, totally. The pink glow was very noticeable even with tons of light pollution. Unbelievable we saw that in Maryland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vastateofmind Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 1 hour ago, Kmlwx said: Well...keep in mind almost all of these photos are 1-4 second exposures. Modern smartphones automatically go into "night shot mode" unless you specify otherwise. Naked eye was of course much dimmer than the photos. I couldn't see a thing with the naked eye. And maybe iPhones only take a few seconds long shot...but I selected "Night Sight" mode on my Pixel, and because it was mounted on a tripod...waited a few seconds to go into "Astrophotography" mode, which take a 4-minute long shot...which is how (I believe) I captured the little bit of visible aurorae in the close-in NoVA burbs. With the city due north, it's damn near impossible here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baltosquid Posted October 13 Author Share Posted October 13 Best photo of Thursday, during the 10pm substorm. Washed out in the city but was still very much naked eye visible though fainter. Only caught a bit of the 7:30 substorm which seems like it was the strongest but overall what a night! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, this is similar (if even more muted than here) that I got last Thursday evening IMBY about 15 miles south of the District, with all of the light pollution of the city (mostly) ruining my pics. However, I feel like, with the extra townhomes, balconies, etc. appearing in your pics...yours are even more interesting. Thx for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 This was out here in the mountains. It was bright enough that the houses in the foreground appeared pink. Most amazing aurora I have ever seen. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some high clouds were pesky and in the way Sat/Sun and I just couldn't find it tonight. It's getting dimmer by the day too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormchaserchuck1 Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 I have some pink in the sky, visible with the eye, where the sun is setting. Photos with my phone are only picking up on the orange of the sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
