Aurora  B-3,  a closer look.


Ghost trees can be discerned. The beacon on top of the grain  elelvator on the horizon appears as two white spots.
The camera was jostled, but I kept the negative as a good sample of low altitude Auroral activity.  

The buildings are at Churchill Manitoba about 5 miles away from the camera location.

What you see will depend on the resolution of your monitor. The night is very bright when the moon and Auroral light play together on the snow.
The fuzzyness is partly due to the long exposure time the movement of the aurora and somtimes there are ice particles in the air.
