Amazing job again on capturing this. I like the addition of the fence as well.

I'm not sure if the blue was actually there, or if it was a result of my post-processing on the image. But the red/pink was definitely visible. That was the only time I've ever been able to discern any color besides green in the aurora with the unaided eye. Usually the camera can pick up those reds and purples when I can't see them, but this time I actually saw the red. It was beautiful.

Still, it's a great image.

I've only seen the aurora once (large glowy blob to the north), but it was both red and green. Like you said, it is amazing and beautiful.
