Seeing the atmosphere thickness so clearly is pretty awesome. Adds a lot of depth to the footage.

The nightscape shooters and lovers here would probably also enjoy the article about the red, yellow, and green (my nemesis) airglow:

Thanks H... I'm thinking colour-balancing for a blue-black sky at night is probably wrong.

Looks like green is the go
