About this image

Twenty-one minutes after my first image the green rayed arc has moved up the sky and Cassiopeia is now below the arc. This view is looking roughly north east. Cygnus is rising above the tree tops and the swan asterism is contained within the glow (as is the rhombus of Cepheus). The rays are much more defined and noticeable.
