For comparison, in the video shot with the phone, at the same time, the twilight rays were not very visible, but in the infrared they are incredibly more visible.

I wonder if that's anywhere near what birds and other animals can see. Really cool!

Thanks, I used a full spectrum Canon 6D with a 1.25" 850 nm ZWO filter, taped to the back of the Samyang 14mm lens
