New Year

There were prediction of Northern Lights last night, so I set out the 6D with the 14mm lens. I got 710 images, 29 seconds each, ISO 400 between 7 PM and 1 AM. The AC adapter replacing the battery works great. I brought the camera in at 1:00 because it looked cloudy, but when I looked at the images later there were some hints of activity at the end. These single images were from about 10 PM. The images were not as spectacular as the ones in October, so I wasn't shy here about pumping up the color. The first composite covers the entire time and includes car headlights lighting up the landscape. The second composite is fewer images from the latter part of the shoot, so the trails are shorter. I did the composites with StarStaX because it is so much faster than doing it in Photoshop.
