Airglow explosion in the northern sky

Details

I created this image from a time lapse. This is a method that I like very much! If you record a static time lapse then you get a nice video at the end, if you take from this series of images e.g. 20 pieces and stack them and edit then you usually get a nice picture.

In this picture I was very focused on the airglow (the yellow/greenish glow on the horizon). Airglow in this form can be seen very often on La Palma because it is extremely dark in all directions! In my experience you see it most often over the sea to the north and east, but it can also come directly above you and maybe I just had "bad luck" in the 3 weeks I was there...
