Airglow

[Antu]

Hi guys,

When the night atmosphere is literally glowing, the view is pretty awesome. Here is the image I obtained a couple of weeks ago when the airglow was quite intense. You can see prominent green emission, which shows quite remarkable structure. I used Canon 6D and Nikkor 14-24 for this shot.

Clear skies and Merry Christmas to all ! :-)

Cheers,
Yuri

Superb. Now we know why sometimes we get gradients even at a dark site.
