September 13, 2023 Auroras

Near Grand Rapids, Minnesota

The solar wind became good for generating auroras during the evening, so I drove out to Prairie Lake to shoot them. I was out for a couple hours, and is sometimes the case in the early fall, I had some fogging issues on my lenses. Nonetheless, it was fun to get out and shoot with much of the wildfire smoke gone for the season.

I took another, wider lens out from the car and got a clearer photograph.
