This is incredible. I'd like to know what the physical process is here in terms of the colors and current paths. Is the red light a product of hydrogen gas disassociated from water vapor? Spectral phenomena of glow discharge?
> My first time-lapse. Thanks to some instruction and tips from @Astro_Ayers, I caught my first aurora. After seeing the result, I told her this felt like fishing. Prepping the camera, the angle, the settings, the mount, then setting your timer and coming back to hope you got a catch. And after catching my first fish, I think I’m hooked. Thanks, Vapor!

Oh yes, let's everyone stop posting links to twitter because someone disagrees with the political views of the owner. So much for having some tolerance right?

I think the political concerns are every bit as valid as concerns over accessibility and privacy, but ultimately there are a lot of good reasons to avoid linking to twitter.
Triggered much? I’m expressing my free speech by refusing to use his neo nazi website and encouraging others to avoid it too. Why do I have to tolerate him?
Please don't partake in virtue signalling. It makes you feel like you're making a difference, allows you to signal to your tribe that you feel a certain way (gaining you virtue among them), but requires 0 actual effort.
