Following a X-flare emitted from the sun two days prior, on February 26th we got to capture possibly one of the most colorful and diverse displays of auroras so far this season. A non-forecast set of clouds sailing in early in the evening gave us abit of a scare that the trip was in vain, but as midnight got closer the coulds cleared up more and more and we could get some really beautiful views of a spectacular lightshow. The FX6 allows me to capture the lights with very high precision and consistency, where I can dictate both the exposure and motion of the aurora in a way that is harder to achieve with other cameras.

This video shows the auroras in the exact order that we captured them, from the glowing green and red beam behind clouds to the lights dancing later that night.

Captured with Sony FX6.
