Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis

Norhtern Lights, aurora borealis - A dim auroral arc on the night of February 14/15 from Churchill Manitoba, with three bright stars well positioned: from left to right ñ Deneb, Vega, and Arcturus, key stars in Inuit celestial navigation when they are low in the northern sky on winter nights. Arcturus is Sivulliik ó the one ahead, while Vega is Kingulliq ñ the one behind.

Slight haze accentutates the stars naturally here, in a single exposure with the Sigma 14mm lens at f/1.8.
