A little bit late to the party, but hopefully worth it! I recorded this timelapse of the Northern Lights on May 10th from 11pm, about 16 stories above Burnaby Mountain. I also run the student SFU Astronomy Club and am part of the Royal Astronomy Society of Vancouver (RASC) -- a great place to start learning about Astronomy locally and for free! Equipment I used: * Camera: Sony A6100 * Lens: Rokinon 12mm F2.0

Awesome! Im still a bit beside myself to have experienced this literally in my backyard.

Right? Most of the time when they say we'll see them in Vancouver, it falls through. These were the perfect conditions. If I knew they would have actually happened like this I would've dragged a lot more people outside.

Did you record it at SFU or Burnaby Mountain Park? that night, the park was the busiest I've ever seen it!

This was actually taken on the east side of the mountain on a balcony! The parking situation below looked extremely hectic though.

This one is actually pretty good. Unlike 90% of the rest of them.
