Pointe Aux Barques Lighthouse, Michigan When news of a potential Northern Lights sighting popped up this past weekend, I decided to try our luck in the dark skies of Michigan. We drove the 5 hours to Lake Huron and waited for night fall-like the many other excited aurora chasers in the midwest. We were greeted with perfectly clear skies and this impressive lighthouse, with our fingers crossed the storm would hit and we`d catch an aurora in the distance. We waited, and waited, and waited some more. All of the news coverage and alerts of the impending storm, something had to show right? In the meantime, I screwed around and practiced with my new star tracker, shot the rising full moon and then we set up for star trails. Our hopes for the Northern Lights dimmed as the night wore on. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans and watching the dancing lights of the aurora wasn’t going to happen. I`ve yet to see an aurora but know when I finally do, it`ll be worth the wait. I took this one as a learning experience. I was thrilled to test my tracker, was able to catch up with my bud Phil and ended up with this star trail image.
