About this image

A spectacular display of the northern lights last night. Many unusual and bright features. This view is looking southwest from the north of our house. You can see M44 at centre. Mars to the right, and the aurora moving through Leo.

Pushed a bit in Affinity Photo to emphasise the auroral light.
