The amount of pink is extraordinary. There may be a higher amount of particles in the Higher Altitudes above the planet.
From the web site linked:
"We don’t see red in the Aurora Borealis too frequently and the colour tends to be associated with intense solar activity.
Reds appear in the Aurora when solar particles react with Oxygen at higher altitudes, generally above 150 miles. At this height the Oxygen is less concentrated and is “excited” at a higher frequency or wavelength than the denser Oxygen lower down making reds visible."
