Story
I monitored the solar wind parameters all day, hoping they would persist until nightfall - and a miracle is happened. An hour after dark, those aurora borealis pillars appeared in the northern sky, perfectly visible to the naked eye. The show lasted about half an hour, after which a long lull reigned.
Canon 60D + Samyang 14 mm f/2.8 (panorama).
