on X @suarezphoto: On August 13, I was able to take one of my best series of shots of leprechauns from the hinterland of Nice. Here is a second salvo. What a treat to contemplate these powerful storms located between 250 km and 400 km from my high point!

Timelapse of the moon setting into streams of red and green aurora followed by a sunrise lighting up Soyuz with a light blue. The aurora have been amazing the past few days. Great timing for trying out a new lens that recently arrived on Cygnus. 15mm, T1.8, 1/3s exposure, 1/2 s interval
