Re: [APML] aurora under a big moon

Nice shooting Dom!
    Two sources of light pollution in one image! :-) Using moonlight to
illuminate astrophotos is always challenging, especially the part about
getting the exposure right. But, the results are always interesting! I have
done some of this as well, but not with aurora.

I have been wanting to shoot the mountains in Banff under moonlight with
star trails, but at this time of year they are almost always cloud covered.

Great shots!

Hello all !

I don't want to bore those for that the auroras borealis are a light
pollution ;) but for those that can interest, you can see 3 new pictures
here (Nov. 21 and Dec. 5, 2003)

btw: it was -18°C on 5 december , it's very cold when you want to manipulate
the lens !!!

Clear skies !
