Image Details:

With a bright moon illuminating the mid-night sky before moonset (glow on left side of image), I was photographing a modest display of northern lights directly to the north over the Ottawa River, when I noticed a strange "streak" in the northwest. The camera revealed what appears to be a display of STEVE, which lasted about 10-15 minutes. The northern Aurora display of green and purple continued for about 90 minutes, until it was covered by clouds.
