Aurora Over Grasslands
My 3.5-minute 6K music video records the great all-sky aurora show of August 11, 2024. I shot from the 70 Mile Butte trailhead at Grasslands National Park near Val Marie, Saskatchewan. Grasslands is a Dark Sky Preserve.
The aurora was underway in the twilight (as per the opening panorama) and covered the sky with colourful curtains. A wave of red rolled in from the east as a substorm hit after midnight. The red was visible to the unaided eye, unusual to be sure. Note the other colours such as magenta, orange and yellow that appear at times.
The night was also the peak of the annual Perseid meteor shower and a few still images I included at the start of the video show a few Perseids I caug...

A Swirling Aurora Corona
Просмотров 140Месяц назад
This records a coronal outburst of an aurora on the morning of August 4, 2024, during a Kp5 to 6 aurora that was active all night. But here at about 4 am it moved to the zenith quite rapidly and began to dance! This is real-time video - it is not time-lapse and is not sped up. The camera is looking straight up to the zenith. The location was off Highway 1 near Bassano, Alberta, latitude 51° N. ...

what an excellent guest 👍👍
Truly spectacular,
Beautiful, Alan. Completely agree they’re one of the most mesmerising sights - so dynamic and exhilarating.
Absolutely amazing! Well done.
Fantastic clear sky for you Alan! I went home at 3am even though I knew the corona would happen, i was just too tired and the clouds weren't cooperating
Hi John! I would have missed it, too, had I not been on the tour group with Neil Zeller, out all night and on the road home. But this was close to home.
they appeared in morocco i didn't understand anything about what was happening that night 😂😂
A beautiful illustration of the increasing pervasiveness of technology in our night sky. It gives us a moment to enjoy its beauty, the chance to reflect on its consequences, and an opportunity to ensure that its effect does not irreversibly damage the natural beauty of the universe. Thank you Alan.
they look like the stars except moving 🤣
Beautiful Capture for a sky so contaminated !!!
Thank u!
The cost of bringing education and connectivity to the world. It is worth it though. Knowledge is key to short term safety and long term prosperity for those of us not fortunate enough to have fixed infrastructure on the ground.
And do you know how many third world countries and citizens are using Starlink or other LEO systems for their internet, or can afford to? That market can be and is served by geosats and conventional cell systems. The low latency of LEO satellite systems is designed to serve one primary and profitable sector: banking and stock trading. Not impoverished areas. But check on Starlink's customer base and where the profits come from. Report back -- I'd be interested to learn more.
Thanks EM...not!
this issue is very inherit to higher latitudes especially during summer. lower latitudes fare better in this aspect but longer exposures easily reveals starlink sats.
The colors intensity and the detailed structures are impressive, despite the clouds coverage! Amazing images! So the aurorae you recorded in real-time are the so-called flickering aurorae?
Of course, it was cloudy in Halifax!
what a great video!!!! we saw it down here in georgia!!! pink and green and red, but not like this!!!! thank you for sharing!!!! ♥
Awesome timelapse, Alan! So glad you caught it, despite the clouds working against you.
Fantastic display! Nicely photographed and composed. Thanks.
Hallo, darkness, my old friend...
Alan, Outstanding photography and stunning video production. Thanks!
Breathtaking work, Alan!
Wspaniały film 👍
Great work! Excellent shots, excellent video editing.
Merci beaucoup!
So glad you caught totality, Alan! I love how the wide sky shot looks like you're zooming over the water.
Great stuff, as ever
AMAZING
What a great memory!
Beautiful!
Nicely done Alan!
Beautiful work, Alan!
Thanks Scott!
Just seen this for the first time 3 nights back. It is a somewhat surreal and unnatural thing to see in the sky.
Great video. Thank you! 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕
And where were you on April 8, 2024 when totality crossed North America? Under clear skies I hope and in the path.
great work Alan
Glad You are back .
Breath taking! I'm in Texas between Waco and Ennis. I'm getting excited!! I can't wait to experience this once in a lifetime event!!
Totality Awesome! God created a wonderful universe! Great Work!
Hello dear Alan, you are the Best. :D This is very amazing. I will go for first Time this Year on April,8th in Texas. I will purchase your Eclipse e-Book this upcoming week. Thanks a lot for your great Workshop and Explaining. :)
Sternenspuren mit Polarstern in der Mitte
Hello good time Relaxing videos and specialized and documentary-like images, unique photography, are appreciated. Your beautiful channel has relaxing and beautiful images. Your ability has created a very valuable collection, thanks for this wonderful sharing I am a new member Have a wonderful and successful moment, dear colleague
Beautiful!! Do you have the solar filter on for the diamond rings shots?
No, removed a minute or so before totality, as you see in the video clip where I take off the filter and it goes from a filtered crescent to an unfiltered diamond ring.
Amazed by the quality of these videos (and how few have viewed them). You have lived one hell of a life. Thank you for sharing.
Nice video, Alan. They look so cool when they are in a train like this, but they are so annoying when you're trying to take night sky photos and there are 10+ satellites in every frame...
Watched them cross from west to east just north of Detroit last night. Fairly quick clip traveling with not much space between. Fun to watch.
If we were on a spinning ball they would go east to west.
I love on Windsor Maine and just happened to be looking up and saw them for a second time somewhere towards the end of August started towards the western part of this state and were going north north east The second time I saw them they were so bright you couldn't miss them if you wanted to! Very cool to see! Scary the first time bcz I hadn't been aware of what I was seeing ...freaked me out lol ...not gonna lie!💯🤯👽👁️👍
What is that?
We saw them on September 21st around the Cherry Springs, Pa. area. Sitting around the campfire they passed directly over our heads. Didn't know what it was at first.
I dunno, I saw them last night for the first time on Vancouver Island. At first i thought it was cool, then realised that stargazing has been profoundly changed forever just for one rich prick's ambition.
I saw them September 14th 2023 in the South West of England. I was so excited.
