Southern Glow
The recent magnetic storm was strong enough to have lights showing strongly in the southern skies.
Land Under Stars
The view south from the shoulder of Mt. Bierstadt is softened by moonlight
Skyrays
A strong burst of aurora spread rays down the western sky, so bright that I wondered if I might see my shadow.
Night Glow
Light pollution from a nearby city colors the clouds with the sodium light, as stars shine through the gaps.
The Star is Attacking
This is one of many spectacular moments in the northern lights display caused by a G5 geomagnetic storm several weeks ago.

Top of the line night vision optics are amazingly good for viewing stars, and a campfire of coals will light up the forest like a beacon.
Whisp
The clouds moving through the night sky add an extra layer to this landscape.
Interstellar Glow
I have always enjoyed taking star pictures, and had a wonderfully clear night in Badlands National Park. This is the best view of the interstellar gas clouds I have managed yet.
Summer Visitor
This photo is from this summer during the evening visibility of comet NEOWISE. The comet is a long period comet that had not been previously recorded, and provided a surprisingly good show for several weeks.
