    When did you take this image? I was out yesterday at 22:00 UTC (in the dead of night here) and didn’t see jack shit. I wonder if I was too early.

      2330 PDT and it was faint but visible, cameras really make it pop far more than what it looks like to the naked eye.

      The videos you’ve seen where it is this waves of light shimmering in the night sky…. They’re kinda BS. As I said the camera and a longer exposure makes it pop. And time lapse shows the motions

      As I said we could see it. It was dark but nowhere near pitch black but the camera made it amazing

      The night filter on the camera makes it look better than with the naked eye.

        I didn’t expect sparkling rainbows, but I saw literally nothing. Just a regular starry night. :(

          I don’t know what OP saw but this is a comparison of what I saw with my eyes vs photo.

              Just like you would, fellow human, with my ocular image receptors. (camera night mode off approximated what I saw pretty well)
