The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
Tuesday’s Aurora was something of a surprise as it came on very quickly, starting shortly after sunset. While there wasn’t much “dancing” of the colors, they were very intense, easily viewable with the naked eye. This is a view to the East, with Orion mostly visible and the Pleaides near the top.
Specific Feedback
Something that caught my eyes as I took photos was how the sky color reflected off the snow on the mountains.

Awesome. Is the light on the mountains from the moon? If it was the auroras must have been very bright to still come out like that in the moon light. Also very cool that Orion, the Pleiades, Taurus, and Auriga all come through as well. Magical for sure.
Youssef, the moon wasn’t up, that light is all Aurora reflections. I’m not familiar with Auriga or Taurus. Now I’ll go look them up, thanks for the ID.
Then I really need to see the aurora for myself, I just cant wrap my head around how bright they must be. I have outlined the constellations of Taurus and Auriga and their two main stars Aldebaran in Taurus and Capella in Auriga.
What a fantastic catch!! I love the hint of the landscape, which shows off the immensity of Big Sky country, and the light from the aurora is an amazing feature!
I had notice of it for once and we had too many clouds. They also shot down all but two chances at the comet, and an equipment glitch shot down the first one.
