Chasing the Northern Lights

Over the past year, I’ve been tracking solar storms and the Kp-index to aid me in photographing the colorful lights from the aurora borealis. 

 

It’s an elusive natural phenomenon that is challenging for me to catch in southern Wisconsin. 

 

I actually think it’s more fun to chase the lights since they are fairly rare. I hope you enjoy this small gallery of lights, it was a magical night for me.
