To my surprise, the <a href=\"http:\/\/corona-gw.phys.ualberta.ca\/AuroraWatch\/\">&#8220;U of A Aurora Watch Website&#8221;<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swpc.noaa.gov\/pmap\/pmapN.html\">&#8220;NOAA Space Weather Prediction Website&#8221;<\/a> were both showing that the chance to see northern lights was very high! So I drove out to a previous location, which some of you may recognize. As soon as I got out of my car and set up with the full moon slightly behind me, the lights started to show. This light show lasted for about half an hour and near the end I also shot a few photos to put together in panoramic format. Below are 4 photos from that night. I&#8217;m still learning about night photography and shooting with the northern lights, so any tips out there would be great!
