Auroral Curtains in Green & Magenta #2

The Northern Lights on Feb 16, 2015, as seen from the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, in Churchill, Manitoba at 58° latitude, and under the auroral oval. The aurora appeared as skies cleared somewhat during a blizzard with high winds and blowing snow conditions. I shot these from the second floor deck of the Centre, out of the wind and off the ground. Jupiter is at right, the Big Dipper at left.

This is a 15-second exposure at f/2.8 and ISO 4000 with the 15mm full-frame fish-eye lens and Canon 6D.
