Great shot. I took this in Atlanta, GA about 10pm EST. The sky definitely had a very slight pink / purple hue you could see with the naked eye. Northern lights or some sort of lens flare?
Definitely the lights. I got them in Atlanta too
Wow, nice capture
Is the video time stamp accurate? The big surge came through about 2-2:30am edt?
Timestamp is UTC
Cool captures.
Hi, OP! Please include ALL acquisition and processing details
Here is the exif data from the original, and I set it to 10 second exposure; I don’t know why it say 2.0s, I don’t understand the technicality and am an amateur at best.
The one I uploaded is lower resolution because I wanted to protect my information and thought I may put up the original for sell one day. A bit greedy I know but my poverty is 2 meals a day walking on subfloors that give me splinters. Enjoy the data.
What was the location and exposure time?
Exposure was 10 seconds, and so I don’t dox myself I’ll say virginia.
Closer to the equator than I thought! Was it clearly visible to the naked eye?
Not too visible, saw shades of reds and greens and streaking like rain when I took that one.
in NC i saw a faint red/pink/magenta glow over the whole sky for a little while. it was as bright as the sky normally is about 45 minutes after sunset when you can only see the brightest stars and planets. the stars looked like they turned pink
Meanwhile it was cloudy here in the mid-Atlantic. :-(
Welcome to !astrophotography!
We are Lemmy's dedicated astrophotography community!
If you want to see or post pictures of space taken by amateurs using amateur level equipment, this is the place for you!
Please read the rules before you post! It is your responsibility to be aware of current rules. Failure to be aware of current rules may result in your post being removed without warning at moderator discretion.
Astrophotography refers to images of astronomical objects or phenomena exclusively.
~~Images that show objects or people below the Kármán Line (100km) will be removed.~~ We won't be enforcing this rule for now, but as the community grows eventually we will split and have a separate space for just landscape astro.
Images must be an accurate representation of a real astronomical object.
Image posts can only be images that you have captured and processed yourself, or discussion about capturing and/or processing your own images.
Images acquired from public sources, professional observatories, or other professional services are not allowed.
If you have done a drastic alteration or reprocessing of a prior submission, you may repost your edit - but only after a minimum of one week has passed.
Image posts are to link directly to the image, not to landing pages, personal galleries, blogs, or professional sites. Link to these in the comments. (AstroBin and Imgur, are allowed)
Questions are welcome here for the time being.
Links to blogs, articles or external websites should be interesting and promote discussion about amateur astrophotography.
If your post is removed, try reposting with a different title. Don't hesitate to message the mods if you still have questions!
All submitted images must include acquisition and processing details as a top-level comment. All posts without this information may be given a warning, and if not updated will be removed.
This includes the telescope, mount, camera, accessories, and any other pieces of equipment you used to capture the image.
You must also include processing details, i.e. the programs you used and a general rundown of the workflow/processes you used within those programs. “Processed in Photoshop” is not enough.
