Buffalo Aurora Borealis on a Pixel 3

Early in the Night

Just using the default Night mode, before I found how to enable astrophotography mode on the Pixel 3.

Right click on desktop or long press on mobile to open up the image in a new tab if you want to zoom in more!

And now with astrophotography mode!!

A few more Zenith shots.

You can even see the visual binary system, Mizar and Alcor in the handle of the Ursa Major!

Fun fact, Mizar and Alcor are not actually a binary system, but they are close to each other (0.281 lightyears). But if you look at Mizar with a telescope, you can see Mizar A & B! And with spectroscopy it turns out that Mizar A & B are BOTH binary systems.

Also in 2009, Alcor was found to be a binary system by some peeps at the University of Rochester.
