All footage recorded with a SiOnyx Aurora lowlight camera.
Settings at which the scene rendered by the Aurora, at the given luminance levels, appeared optimized.
setting/s (24FPS -minus 1.7EC, 15FPS -minus 1.3EC, 7.5FPS -minus 1.0EC)
From my perspective, the aurora rendered the best scene detail at 7.5FPS with the exposure compensation at -1.0. The footage through the PVS-14 is included as reference/control for those familiar with image intensified systems.

Visible Lunar Disk Illumination 0% 🌚
Slight artificial skyglow from urban sprawl💡Â
Area was navigable with unaided vision. Scene illuminance provided vision just under color vision threshold.
