<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3 color=black
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>It's an HDR (high dynamic
range) photo - which combines two or more exposures. You are right when you say
it can't be done with one shot, but most astrophotographers do this now because
that's what sells - it more realistically captures what the eye can see (and
with some aurora photos, more than we can see - is that 'faking' it?). However,
the 'painted' edges happen with certain techniques and software. Some
people like HDR, some find it jarring.<br>

with this photo is that it has <u>no</u> similarity to what the eye sees, at all.
Like Grover I have seen many auroras from here and many other locales,
The night must be moonless for pix, and on these nights the terrain stays
black. And you don’t see 9th mag stars, ever. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

of stacking ‘negatives’ for deep sky objects, but this effort is
awful. It is like a nice poster I saw of the golden gate bridge with a
big full moon. But since it was facing north, it was impossible and looked crappy,
