"Aurora Surprise"

On the night of September 3rd, 2011 I was out shooting stars and the Milky Way when a quick glance to the North revealed a nice surprise: a faint glow of Northern lights on the horizon!  There wasn't any aurora activity in the forecast that night, so we were quite excited when we looked to the North and saw the lights.  Since they were so faint, I decided to try a long exposure.  This image ended up being 30 minutes long and I just loved the effect of the Northern lights combined with the spinning stars.
