Timelapse Northern Lights And Startrails 720p HD

All video footage is copyrighted to me. A storm on the surface of the sun known as a "coronal mass ejection" pushed billions of tons of superheated gas into the solar system, which is now appearing over some parts of the northern hemisphere in the form of aurora borealis. The Telegraph reports: "Dramatic auroras were seen in Denmark, Norway, Greenland, Germany and across the northern United States and Canada" Tuesday night.
Watch in HD! 2900+ still images taken with Nikon D40 through a Sigma 10-20mm f4 lens and nikon 35mm f1.8. I used Camera control pro for some clips, but most of them were taken only using the Nikon ML-L3 remote since D40 doesn't have a built in intervalometer. One clip is taken in Bergen, Norway, the remaining clips are taken in Levanger, Norway. Some aircraft navigation lights and even a few meteors are captured in this timelapse. The star trails effect was created using photoshop and a star trails action which can be found here: http://timelapseblog.com/2010/03/29/star-trails-photoshop-action/, and downloaded from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?zyxiljnvoc0. Thanks to Owen Scharlotte!
Camera: Nikon D40.

I STILL find this difficult to masturbate to

@campernocamping1 internet gaming can be a worse addiction than drugs (citing about 4 years of compulsive WoW) sometimes the best thing to do is to get outside yourself and see how massive and beautiful the world you reside in is. we're all a part of something so much greater.
