My best Northern Lights observation
Hi dear Steemians! Today I prepared a batch of Northern Lights photos that I took on 18.03.2015. For a long time I kept them for myself because of the high noise on the pictures, but I find a way to remove it to pretty good level so I decided to share them:)
I know that there are tons of amazing Northern Lights pictures of better quality, but taking into consideration that I took them with Canon 60D with a lot of mentioned noise and sometimes on too long exposure times (the idea was to limit the noise, but then the Aurora starts looking to blurry) after all, I'm happy from that look.
It was my second Northern Lights observation (after a trip to Tromso especially for that purpose) and this time it was more then 1300km to the south from that city and the Aurora intensity was soo much higher that I experienced before in Tromso. I remember that the KP level (in simple words it is an index of how far to the south Aurora can be visible, but it is just a colloquial meaning and in terms of physics it has to be something more sophisticated :D and it's related directly to geomagnetic storms ) was very high, probably around 8 and the Aurora was visible even from the central part of Poland, Germany and similar latitudes which is quite unique.
Ok, enough of this boring introduction - now lets jump to the photos!
