This photo was captured by Ole Christian Salomonsen in Norway, using a Canon 5D Mark II with Canon EF 16-35 Mark II lens and settings at f/2.8, ISO2500, 7sec. It is a long exposure photo, that’s why you can see some satellites streaks and one made by a plane. The aurora lets you see the background full of stars, because it is colorful but a little bit transparent. Awesome.
