Couple of days ago I posted two sunset photos. Early Saturday morning (2am) I walked back to the location of the first one to see if I could see the aurora. Lots of light pollution here, but at least there are no streetlights near the MUP where it passes through the marsh. Naked eye it was hard to see, but a 1 second exposure with my Canon R5 revealed this:



Been playing with the Photoshop clone tool and generative AI to try to get rid of the power lines, but everything seems to leave some visible artifacts. So I'm leaving it.

I imagine Matt has been off his bike with his surgery.

Matt, if you are reading this, just wanted to send well-wishes your way. Hope you are back on your feet (errr, bike) soon.

Not quite yet. Had several days of rain and several early morning doctor appointments that interfered with riding. Not gonna lie…my legs were fine with taking a few days off!

Many thanks for the well wishes. Surgery is tomorrow morning.
