You'll find lots of FReepers who are interested in space and photography. Personally I've found that I like to photograph interesting clouds and lightning a lot.
Thanks for the re-post.
The image was taken in the early hours of July 2nd, 2011 (MST). The display started at 11pm on the 1st, ended after 1:30am on the 2nd.
This image is one of the frames from a timelapse video that can be found at: http://vimeo.com/25918041
The video (when you see the ‘short’ animation of frames) easily shows the ‘wispy’ and unusual movement of the NLC clouds, which are far above the ground winds. They are truly a treat to see!
If you have any questions, please email or visit me on Google+ as I’m being assailed with questions, and would like to be able to answer as many as possible. :)
Regards,
Greg
Thanks Greg, and welcome to FreeRepublic.
Everyone on the APoD list, how about a warm welcome — the photographer himself has joined us right-wing loonies.
Oh, sorry, only some of us are only right-wing, some are just loonies, only a few of us are right-wing loonies.
Howdy! Welcome. Beautiful pic. I love sky and space pics. :-)
A hearty welcome indeed from one (amateur) photographer to another (much better) photographer.
You were fortunate indeed as well as most patient to see such an amazing display and to be able to share it with us.
Thank you for the most excellent pic and welcome to Free Republic.
Cheers,
