Vernon Hills, IL<br><br>I missed the aurora in May so hoped to capture a semblance of it this week in our area...which is a rare occurrence. My expectations were low since NOAA Space Center forecast was for a less than 10% chance (with low energy) of seeing it in northern Illinois.<br><br>It was a clear night, so I figured worst case would be some star trail photos and giving my buddy a lesson on how to do them. Good fortune came when the aurora appeared during the last 5 minutes of star trail exposures. We hung around awhile after the star trails were completed to capture additional shots of the aurora.<br><br>Sony A7IV @ f2.8 | 30" x 121 | 14mm | ISO 100<br>Rokinon 14mm F2.8 Series II<br><br>Photographed 10/10/24
