This samsung S21-Ultra cell phone photo was taken on a tripod. It's still a little soft, and I'll be covering why in an article that will soon appear on our website.

One of the clearer days during our sojourn. This was taken while engaged in the 6-hour snowmachine adventure from Borealis Basecamp. The starting temperature was -17F that day. At one point in a valley I'm sure the temperature was below -30F. This is about as high in the sky as the sun rises since we are only a week away from the winter solstice.

The meteor is a bit faint in this shot, but it's there slicing through the image horizontally in about the middle. I've brightened the image a bit in post. This is one of the images in the AuroraDance timelapse. I particularly enjoyed watching how quickly it moved and how often the little "sprites" bloomed and glowed then dimmed. There are definitely bluish tinged lights here which I believe implies interaction with sunlight higher in the atmosphere.
See the whole sequence as a timelapse here.
