That's one of the coolest shots ive seen.  Sweet !

I'm glad you liked it. You probably dont see that much of it further south.

Auroras are beautiful but they can also really ruin your night photography. Forget about using your telescope that night.

Here are two more taken around midnight.

Fantastic! Though I can understand how after awhile that could be annoying - with the sky lighting up like a neon-sign.

But still an excellent photo opportunity.

Thank you!
