Shot on Sony a7iii, quickly edited in Affinity Photo
Was it very visible to your naked eye here? Away from light pollution a bit?
Not trying to reveal specifics, just curious!
Unless you are in an area with low light pollution, it doesn’t look like it does in photos. You can’t exactly increase the exposure time of your eyeballs :D
You see like purple/orange streaks in the sky, still beautiful, but the cameras exaggerate it.
Okay, because I got an acceptable amount of aurora after adding the “enhance” filter on my Pixel, taken from my driveway, through light pollution of town. But I couldn’t see shit but faint streaks. I could tell it was dancin’…
I dont have a pixel, but if there’s like a “pro” mode in the camera app, you can play around with the shutter speed and expose for longer. After the event the sky looked normal, but I could still get the purple green with my phone camera!
I’ll give that a try tonight, thank you for the tip!
On the Pixel I’d recommend the astrophotography mode which exposes for 4 to 5 minutes, it works very well.
You need to use the night mode in the camera and then put the phone on a tripod or lean it against something so it won’t move, after a few seconds the shutter button will turn into a stars symbol. Then press the shutter button and it will tell you how long you should leave the phone there.

Driving 40 minutes east of Bend brought us down to zero light pollution.

Nice!
That’s insane as it is, super pretty. No need to enhance anything. 👌😊
