Kim Bannerman was getting ready retire for the evening on Sunday night.

Mother Nature had different plans.

B次元官网网址淚 was actually getting ready for bed, and a friend of mine made a comment on Facebook,B次元官网网址� said Bannerman. B次元官网网址淲e (she and partner Shaun Pigott) both enjoy astronomy, and had filmed the northern lights in the past, but nothing quite so spectacular. So we saw it was a good night and we figured, B次元官网网址榳hy go to bed? LetB次元官网网址檚 just head out to the lake and see what we can see.B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址�

Bannerman and Pigott, who co-own Fox & Bee Studio in Cumberland, set up their equipment at Cumberland Campsite on Comox Lake, aimed north, and started skywatching.

B次元官网网址淲e filmed from midnight until about 2:45, capturing different time-lapses. It was a very late night for us,B次元官网网址� Bannerman quipped.

She said it was the best northern lights show she has ever seen.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檝e seen them once before, coming across the connector for the Coquihalla, coming from Kelowna to Vancouver one night, but that was really the only time I had seen them look quite as spectacular as this. It looked amazingB次元官网网址� and no light pollution, so a really good view.B次元官网网址�
