There was another good chance of mid-latitude Aurora Borealis on 10/10/2024 so I decided to hike up this viewpoint in the central cascades of Washington state. All the elements came together perfectly from the lone tree perched on a cliff, fall larches, moonlit Mount Stuart, and Northern Lights dancing above. This photo is a single exposure of 5 seconds, f/2.8, ISO 1250. It was taken during twilight with the half moon up. Basic post processing was applied to it - white balance, exposure, etc. No saturation has been added.
