2. It's the stars and climbers' lights that are fun to watch.

I think I saw the earlier aurora from the webcam before taking a long time exposure from home.

You can't see any of these by day, when the interesting features are clouds or snow, when they show up.

The camera must be quite sensitive to pick up stars. And have a lot of dynamic range to also work by day.

Yosemite conservancy did well!

Look hard and you shall find interesting things, one of those photographer's mottos (even if I just invented it myself)

I was looking at the Iceland webcam for an earlier aurora and took a screenshot as a meteor flashed by.
