Fantastic Adam! Radio propagation lemons but you serve up beautiful pink lemonade. Nice photography work. 73 de KO4AYC

[@K6ARK]

Ha! Yes, absolutely. My mind was too blown to even think about turning on a radio anyway 🤣

[@hamradiotube]

Wow, very cool!

[@dugbohamradio]

Time lapse is incredible! Fantastic !

Beautiful, thanks for sharing

[@KH6WI]

Great photos! I loved taking photos of the milky way from J-Tree when I lived in San Diego, but that time lapse is next level cool. It's truly an amazing place.

[@vincei4252]

Very nice. For a couple minutes I forgot this is a Ham Radio channel and thought that it naturally was an Astronomy channel, something very close to my heart too. So happy you got to see this. I live in Connecticut and didn't see a single thing because of heavy cloud cover and rain. I've been looking up to the stars since but no luck. At least seeing totality in April up in Vermont almost makes up for missing this! 73.

[@K6ARK]

Yes, I debated posting because I didn't do any radio operating, but every HF operator I know is a space nerd and loves following solar weather anyway. So... Here it is.

[@Danielmiller4]

Excellent!!!

[@W7LDT]

That looked amazing. I live in Arizona and missed the show here. Thank you for sharing.

[@notionocean]

Beautiful!

[@garyh8315]

Adam, fantastic. Good guitar rift, takes me back to an LP of the same name as the park..... thankyou

[@gfodale]

Nice! Also, good choice on background music. Well done!

[@praveenprabhu9533]

Brilliant

[@LanceVK6LK_AussieHam]

That would have been breath taking, lucky man. Thanks for posting. Lance

[@K6ARK]

It was quite an amazing experience!

[@GoAmateurRadio]

Thanks for sharing Adam! I hate that I couldn’t see the Aurora in NC due to city lights here, glad you got to experience it!

[@haletd]

Awesome, Thanks for sharing!

[@RanchoCoyote]

Very cool Adam!! Thanks for sharing. Amazing that you were in the right place at the right time to experience that.

[@K6ARK]

It was! I really lucked out.

[@phildurall7466]

WOW! So cool!

[@hamradioportable1630]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Same here in GA.

[@K6ARK]

It was quite a show, and well worth watching. The NOAA forecast is an essential tool to optimize your timing for the best chance at viewing.

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Adam, Spectacular time lapse. We've had cloudy skies since the solar flares. I did see an aurora once from home that looked very similar with the red hues. Great you were at the right spot at the right time. 73 WJ3U

[@K6ARK]

Awesome. It was interesting, my canon cameras were picking up the pinks and magentas better. Friends with iPhones were getting a bit more of the greens mixed in. With my eyes, the pinks and magentas were the most prominent.

[@Utahforrest]

Insane 😍

[@chrisbjohannsen]

AWESOME!

[@lyledal]

Freaking amazing!

[@W3DRE]

Amazing!

[@AA0Z]

Great photos and video. What a cool backdrop!

[@K6ARK]

Thanks! It's a pretty magical place even without the Aurora. With it, even more special.

[@bodhi47]

Amazing.

[@N7KOM]

Heck yeah!

[@JeffreyJBeckman]

This is awesome Adam. We saw it in Albuqwleqrqe, but not nearly as dramatic as this.

[@milwman1958]

That’s sweet

[@N6RUN]

🤩

[@LinkEighty8]

I tried both days and different see a thing.

[@carmenceballos3397]

What camp were you at? We stayed at Cottonwood but unfortunately didn't know about the lights or I would have stayed up to watch them.

[@K6ARK]

We stayed at Ryan. The pink was apparent by around 10pm, and the peak visibility seemed to be around 11pm to 1am.

[@carmenceballos3397]

Thanks for sharing. It's something I always wanted to see. Good video.

[@JosephVE3GKT]

Awesome stuff Adam! I went a little north to Collingwood ON and caught a bunch of incredible photos but didn't have the presence of mind to try a timelapse. Hopefully next time. What camera and lens were you using? 73 VE3GKT

[@K6ARK]

Glad you got out for the show! I had my two Canon EF-M bodies (M6 Mk ii and M200) and a few lenses (Laowa 9mm f/2.8, Canon 11-22mm f/4-5.6, and Sigma 30mm f/1.4). Generally shot wide open, manual focus, and 10-30 sec exposures at ISO 1600-3200.

[@JosephVE3GKT]

@@K6ARK cool! I used a buddy's Nikon D3100 with stock lens at f/3.5, 18mm, manual focus. In hindsight I'm not sure it was the correct decision - some images are noisy - but I used either 2s or 5s exposure with ISO 800 or 400 because the aurora was so bright and fast and I wanted to make sure I didn't get one giant blob of purple! I'd really like to get a wider angle lens but we'll see what I can do. Thanks again!

[@K6ARK]

Nice. The D3100 is an older body (released in 2010) and sensors have come a long way since then. Fast (large aperture) lenses make a big difference too. I too tried to minimize my shutter speed to minimize loss of detail from the rapidly changing Aurora. It was so cool. I hope we have more similar opportunities as the cycle progresses.
