Object Data:  This particular aurora shot shows my vehicle parked in front of the observatory.  I wish now I would taken a photo that showed the aurora reflecting off the hood of my vehicle.   I can't believe it was clean :-)

Notes:What a pleasant surprise we were greeted with that wintry night.  Negatives were scanned using a Nikon LS-2000 scanner.   Photoshop was used to adjust levels to make them more like the print.  The film displayed much more color than the human eye could see so it was a pleasure getting this roll of film back.
