About this image

Whilst photographing the aurora last night, the sky was quite clear to the west, so I thought I'd do a quick image of Corona Borealis in case T CrB had erupted. I'm not 100% sure where T CrB is in this image, but it's certainly not bright! However, the camera also picked up this wide red auroral arc to the west which was not visible to the naked eye, and would certainly make accurate photometry tricky...
