This is how aurora looks like in a real-time video, captured last week in Iceland. Many of the aurora videos, including those I posted here in the past, are timelapse that show the phenomenon much faster than reality. This is the natural speed to the human eyes. An active aurora still has dramatically fast changes in real-time, every second. I first filmed aurora in 2003 from a deck of an icebreaker on the way to Antarctica. At that time the result was too noisy even with the top-end cameras. Now some sensors are able to capture it in low-noise when used at a very high ISO and with a fast f1.4 lens.
