| Thank you spacer! Make sure you don't go when the Moon is up though. Otherwise the sky will be lightpolluted.
Love SpaceEngine!

Thank you! Really? I thought it just was some more auroras (which was prominent to the north).

| Darkening the image, I can clearly see it is an aurora (look at the screen from the bottom also)
Want some music of mine ? Please go here !

The bottom image shows aurora, the top image shows some airglow.
It's the faint, slightly banded textured greenish glow located just above the horizon (it's typically most apparent between 10 and 30 degrees above the horizon). Here's a good image of it from the VLT, showing both green and red airglow. From space, it looks like a bubble surrounding the Earth.
Its light is really quite dim, requiring much darker skies than those necessary for seeing the Milky Way. So you had nice skies where you were.

| Earlier this year, I took a trip to the Grand Canyon and hiked down to the bottom and camped nearby Phantom Ranch for two nights. This was the first time I was able to take my DSLR to a dark sky area and was quite pleased with the results. A standard tripod and the DSLR were all I used in taking these pictures.

| Very nice pictures SonofStars! If you look closely at the Pleiades in the first picture, you can see the Zodiacal light/band. If the brightness and contrast are enhanced the light is more prominent.
Love SpaceEngine!

| Took the opportunity to look at the Sun this evening. Both images are the same, the first being the original, the second one a post edited version using an editing app on my phone. I hope to eventually get a tracking mount and a nicer image capture system going for higher resolution pictures but I am quite happy with the results the phone camera provides. Enjoy!

| A fireball last night from two different locations. At almost 30km/s it didn't survive the atmosphere, but it looks nice nevertheless.
