One of the more interesting formations of the nights of 11/3. I was sitting on the side of a small lake in Tolsona, AK. The lights were starting to become more active after dying down a for a bit. Then suddenly the formation in this image appeared. The first thing I thought was, "That looks just like a broken stained glass window".
This is the overhead shot I managed to capture as the pink, purple, and green corona passed overhead. I only wished that I had more time to shoot this unique color combo before it disappeared. On this image I had to once again had to adjust the Exposure, highlights, and Saturation way down. I also had to do my normal adjustments of Lens correction, white balance, sharpness. Desides those adjustments nothing else was done to this image.
Normally the human eye can not see the red auroras. Last night was the exception. The red was easily visible to the naked eye. Later in the evening the band formed into a red glob that just hung in the sky, just below the milky way . This was shot on the night of 11/3-4.
