Do you have any more video? I have a project in mind that I would like some great Northern Lights MN video for. Oh, and could I use the video for my project? Kinda put the cart before the horse there, didn’t I? I think I need about a minute. Maybe two.

The colors of the Aurora Borealis, which range from red to green to purple and blue, depend on altitude, atmospheric gases and the energy of the particles that make up the solar wind. Oxygen is responsible for green and red, the two main colors. Nitrogen causes blue and deep red. Green lights start at altitudes of about 75 to 110 miles. Red lights occur at altitudes higher than 75 miles; blue and violet occur mostly at lower altitudes.

Here a super short time-lapse video I took from early in the night up the Gunflint trail. 60 images with 25 second exposures stitched into a 4 second time-lapse at 15 fps.

25 minutes of shooting for a 4 second video clip.

Hot stuff. Here's Douglas Kiesling's view from near Fergus Falls.
