Aurora Over Alaska (APOD 09 Apr 2007)

Post by Simple Peasant » Mon Apr 09, 2007 8:57 pm

Does anyone know whether the aurura in the photograph 'Aurora Over Alaska' is in focus or not? The foreground appears to be sharp. The distant trees appear to be less in focus.

Is the aurora sharply focused, out of focus or was an artistic compromise make?

Could be slightly time lapsed... making it appear fuzzy a bit.
