CME – Aurora Borealis,-untypical STEVE. March 20-21, 2026.

Nice auroral activity in between the clouds, wind and precipitation. A faint but distinct pink STEVE structure appeared in the eastern sky during an intense auroral outbreak after a CME impact. It was visible only from 22:08 to 22:11 before clouds returned. The images show a clear mauve/pink hue distinct from the surrounding green and violet aurora. This represents an atypical but confirmed STEVE variant. A few images. Details: Canon 650D/RP, fisheye lenses. Various iso and exposure settings. Location: Ørsta, Norway.
