Northern Lights in Maine



September 12, 2014

Nikon D800 24mm Time-lapse DSC_3015.MOV

Northern lights (aurora borealis) as seen from Maine.

Most of the activity was early in the evening before the moon came up. What looks almost like daylight is actually moonlight that appears so bright because of the long exposures used to capture the night sky.
You can also see the "Big Dipper" (Ursa Major, Great Bear) rotating counter clockwise through the night.

Music: "Equinoxe Part 1" by Jean-Michel Jarre
