All kidding aside, the first shot is phenomenal and shows us what can be shot with a strong enough solar storm and being far enough north. There were clouds here in Colorado but a check of the limits of the solar storm showed I was missing nothing. It takes a very strong storm to push the edge down into Colorado. You took full advantage of a strong storm. Hopefully I will travel far enough north one of these days and be able to shoot some of my own shots. My hat is off to you for your shooting and sharing your absolutely beautiful aurora.

Thank you kindly. Here in Haines we also suffer the challenge of cloud cover, being at the northern edge of a temperate rain forest. Sometimes the magic works.
FYI, shots taken with a D850, ISO 1600, 14-24mm f/2.8 @ f/4 and 18mm with approximately 12 second exposures. f/4 and be there, as the saying goes, more or less.
