December 2, 2023 Auroras
Mount Itasca in Coleraine, MN
After a show in the morning, the solar wind looked really good for auroras this evening. I didn't really have time to dedicate to aurora photography because I was making snow at Mount Itasca. Nevertheless, I decided to bring my camera along and set it up to take a timelapse.
