## What Success Looks Like
- Green aurora curtains visible across the sky with natural wave/ribbon structure
- Stars visible in the dark sky around and through the aurora
- Snow-covered mountains with correct exposure (dim but visible)
- Water surface reflecting green aurora light
- Overall dark exposure appropriate for night scene without blown highlights on snow
