What a wealth of little known information; thank you for introducing us to Steve. I agree with you; I will remember "Steve", but not Sub Arctic Aurora or Sub Auroral Arc or Arctic whatever.... Your photos are beautiful and amazing. I don't know that I will ever travel far enough north to see what you have shown us, so, thank you!
Thanks for the kind comment and support. Yes Steve is so much more memorable.
Beautiful pictures, I would love to see the northern lights myself one day!
Thanks. You should definitely if you ever get the chance. It's quite spectacular.
Thanks for the detailed explanation! I love your Northern Lights photos.
Thanks. Appreciate all your support (along with Team Australia) for the past few months.
What killer lighting on the first one!
I remember the one and only time seeing it live.. Thought I was gonna get abducted or something!
That first shot of Mt Robson is back lit by the aurora to the North !
I like the name "Steve". Who is to say that name is any better or worse than naming it "Nero" or "Caesar" or "John"
Agree. I had the shot from ness lake go a little viral on FB and was shown to 50k plus people. From that I had a few people openly criticising the name as childish and complaining about it being classed as newly discovered as people have been looking at it for a long time. I suggested they write a paper and have it pulished in a journal outlining their alternative opinions on the way it was discovered. In the mean time that paper I linked to has recently come out which is authored by NASA scientists (and some people from the Alberta Aurora FB group) and they had collaborated with data collected from the European Space Agency satellites. So both NASA and the ESA now use the term Steve on their website, so I can't see it changing any time soon!
Beautiful man! Such a cool phenomenon. Resteemed!
Thanks guys ! Always appreciate your support !
Beautiful.
Well you done gone and compelled me to follow you around.
Would like to see what else you have coming down the pipe!
Cheers,
Speck.
Thanks! I will try my best not to disappoint ;-)
This is amazing! :-) beautiful aurora!
Cheers !
These are great shots. I've always dreamed of seeing northern lights and imagining photography. I guess it will be impossible for me .. but I love to imagine. Thank you for your detailed explanation. congratulations Rob
Thanks ! You should if you get the chance. Perhaps one day.
Wow man, next level!
Thanks mate !
Wow :) I have just followed you on Instagram as well. You are either super lucky to get all these animals posing, Northern Lights and perfect weather conditions happening :)) or you are just super talented. Probably both :) Keep it up (:
Thanks. Like most things in life it's a combination of luck, hard work and patience ;-)
Cool story.
In the first image the green aurora looks like blurred out text.
Interesting story one the "strek phenomenon", never experienced it myself.
Cheers, Erlend
Thank you !
Great photos, thanks for the scientific explanation! Resteemed.
Thanks !

I didn't know such thing existed. Thank you for this amazing, interesting report.
Also, luckily all of our planets have been named already before the invention of the Internet.
Perhaps Trump could have the planets renamed after his wives and mistresses.
That's so vicious. In a good way. 😂
Amazing shots of Steve... Learn something new everyday! :) I didn't know about Steve before this - thank you for the introduction! ;) ...or I would have ignorantly thought it was just aurora borealis...
Thanks. It’s adicitive chasing the lights. Steve is quite friendly and would not mind if you mistake him for his lady friend.
Haha... That's nice!! :) Am sure you'll be going after more of Steve and many more challenging situations when he makes an appearance... hopefully again with his lady friend! ;)
Am going to drop your link here to pixresteemer's daily spotlights; hope to introduce Steve to more friends... :)
Hah! It's out!! :D

Wow, Robert! You have outdone yourself on this post. It is a treasure grove of information. Thank you so much for sharing it all with us.
I too feel the name Steve is a good name. Too often the science community is too quick to alienate the non-science community by creating an atmosphere of elitism. This tends to intimidate and push away the average person. (Purely my opinion.)
As for the photo, I have seen Scott do something similar called stacking. It is amazing how it brings out the details in the night sky. I do love how it has brought out the various star colors.
Thanks so much for a well done post and amazing photo.
Thanks. Appreciate you taking the time to have a read though it.
You are welcome. It was, actually, a very good and easy to comprehend post. I love when I can understand something better because someone has taken the time to get rid of jargon and lingo. It really helps to clear the way for appreciation and learning.
Ren
Thanks. Very kind of you.
With respect to stacking unfortunately you can't do it on when shooting an aurora other than for the foreground as it "averages" out the aurora from the sky and ends up removing it. It does work beautifully for astrophotography however.
Yeah, I remember now him showing me how the cars disappeared on one of his photos when he was stacking. I am assuming he already knows this, but it is a good reminder. What is the program you are using. I am not sure what he uses, but when I do my photos (nothing as amazing as yours) I use photoshop.
I use a range of software. Mostly Adobe Lightroom but also Photoshop when required. Sequator is good for star stacking. I also use Microsoft ICE for complex panoramic stitches.
Oh, okay, I haven't tried Lightroom, but Scott has. I think that is what he uses for the star photos. Thanks for sharing that.
