Aurora - One of Nature’s Amazing Light Shows

Last year, California was treated to four - rare for California - auroral displays. Some of them were strong enough to be seen in the greater Bay Area. What causes them? How did they get this far south? Can you see the aurora with the naked eye? Where do the colors come from?

Marsha Kirschbaum, an avid astro-landscape and deep-scape photographer, will talk about some of the science of auroras and her experiences photographing the Aurora in Alaska and California. She will talk about the equipment she used; camera settings, and how to prepare for and protect your camera and body in the cold should one head north for an Aurora experience.
