Short Time lapse from a couple nights ago. Showing the northern lights at the cabin. You'll notice a couple of vehicles leaving, one is my niece on ATV and the second is me. #CabinLife #Nunavut #Aurora #AuroraBorealis

So much amazing in one shot. One thing that stuck out for me, if I recall your cabin is on the East side of the inlet. So this is looking south-ish.
You're more north than the Northern Lights.
whoa.
@tezoatlipoca this is looking pretty much south. And yes, most of our aurora are south. Yesterday was the exception.
@NunavutBirder
You went out and left the lights on?
@ianp5a leave the porch light on so we know the battery has power. My in-laws are at their cabin pretty much full time and will run the generator if the light goes out.
@NunavutBirder
Nice. But I meant the northern lights. In jest.
@ianp5a Ahh. I’m a little slow this morning. Evidently more coffee is in order.
@NunavutBirder wow, breathtaking!
@NunavutBirder awesome timelapse!
what kind of camer/setup did you use?
@lfzz I use a Syrp Genie for the intervalmeter/pan. Camera used is a Canon 1D with a sigma 20mm f1.4 lens.
@NunavutBirder thank you for ur answer.
You never had issues with the cold/condensation?
@lfzz with the sigma lens yes. It isn’t sealed so taking it from warm to cold gets a spot of condensation in the middle of the lens. To counter that I leave it in the porch where it stays cold for winter time lapses.
@NunavutBirder thank you, in the past I did have condensation in the canon main body too. Maybe the change should be much more gradual.
@NunavutBirder @theappletree So beautiful, thank you.
@NunavutBirder Sounds like tonight is going to be amazing for aurora.
@NunavutBirder Very nice!
In the distance two more neighbors can be seen leaving.
For reference, do you know the specs of your front porch light?
@tg9541 LED. 8 watt I think. The ISO setting is 2500. I toned it down quite a bit in post as it was blown out.
@NunavutBirder 100mW would have been sufficient. Behind the cabin, is that the light of a green LED of some appliance?
@tg9541 Generator. Recharging the battery
@NunavutBirder Wow! And what a lovely place you have 🥰
@NunavutBirder Magnificent! Thanks for doing this!
