Aurora Borealis Angel

Here's an aurora shot that I took during a very bright all-sky auroral storm over Doune, Scotland, in November 2003. A view looking to the zenith showing coronal streamers creating an angelic shape; 10sec exposure onto Fuji 400F slide film through a Minolta 16mm super widefield lens (all manual set-up!). Many northern constellations not visible from southern Australia are shown, including some more familiar ones - Orion, Taurus, etc, but upside down! The figure is the statue of Sir David Stirling DSO.

Hope you like it.
