Re: [APML] Aurora pics from July 24

Dom, that is a helpful explanation and as you said, he is a very fine photographer! Helps to live in Alaska!

Beauty in things exists in the mind that contemplates them.

Hi Stuart ,

I don't have the explaination of these " light beam " but if you look at Dennis picture here http://www.spacew.com/gallery/image002658.html you'll have a primary description. If you " http://google.com " it , I'm sure you'll find something.

BTW : take few minutes to visit Dennis site mentioned above , you'll discover an excellent photographer in an excellent place for aurora :)

Clear skies !

Dom :)

Dom, now that you mention it too, can you or Stan or someone explain what a Proton Arc is? I have also photographed these things that look like search light beams and wondered how they are formed since they seem so different from more conventional aurora displays.
