"Peak"ing out of the woods before the rest being downhill.

Winter's hunter, Orion. You can spot three aircraft.

Took some pics of the aurora the other night. I only have like a foot tall tripod which makes it too much of a pain to try and frame shots or anything so this is the best I got.

I REALLY like those shots! 8-) 8-)

I don't know if you have a time lapse option, or can do a video then edit afterwards, but a .gif or such would be really cool! There are also online .gif converters, compressors, etc.

If this is near you or a parking lot, you could always haul something out to put the tripod on to frame as you like, and a car would give you place to duck out of the cold.

I posted this earlier in this thread, and you can see my breath wafting up into the night air to look at Orion when I stopped on a ski trail.

Well, I am at the mercy of the sun and that was the biggest solar storm in six years so I don't know when the next opportunity will be for aurora as good as that (tho a week or three prior to that was also good, and solar activity should rise for the next two years). But also I am just using my phone's camera, I am not sure video will be any good, but I'll give it a try next time.

Fishscaled up Kendall Mountain ski area (200+ feet) in Silverton, CO around 8pm Friday on the thrift store Rossi's I epoxied. No slip on way up, but lots of snow sticking to scales. So at top I scraped it off with the cap and applied liquid wax to bases the skied down after some photos. Took a bit to find good settings. Sorry for blur. Phone was resting on knee and kept as still as I could for 10sec exposures.

View from top.
