No Aurora

Went out last night hoping to capture the Aurora but clouds rolled in with the winds and the Aurora wasn't strong enough to reach me (went down to a Kp5). The bright lights on the horizon just over the dock are Oshawa and Coburg - both in Ontario, Canada. At least that's what I think they are. The dock and rocks are bright because there was a floodlight on the building I was standing next to in order to escape the winds.

30 sec exposure adjusted in post processing

Nice shot. Yes, the aurora can be elusive.

While no aurora, this is still a very neat capture. Love the star field above the clouds.

A very interesting scene with such beautiful selective light.

An almost eerie scene, nicely captured. Too bad about the aurora.

Nice attempt, sometimes Mother Nature just doesn't cooperate.
