Last night we were treated with quite a short, but intense, display of northern lights across much of the northeastern United States. It was visible soon after sunset and peaked around 8:45 PM. By 9 PM it had mostly faded from view, but I continued to get some very faint color for another hour until the moonrise washed it out. This is my favorite frame of a timelapse I captured of the solar storm reflecting in the pond in my back yard. The Andromeda galaxy can be seen in the upper right.

Camera settings: 14mm, f-2.8, ISO 2500, 20 seconds, 3360°K white balance.
