Auroras @ Finnmark, Norway

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Shot another set at another location in Norway. A rented cottage at Porsanger, Norway. 70° North...the northern most latitude that I have stayed. There was a very thin layer of clouds and NL was quite weak. Pale in comparison to the NL I saw at Alta but still it is better than nothing :)

Polaris is about in the middle of the photo about 70° above the horizon. Can use big dipper to trace.

Thanks Mariner! Hope this relive your memories of seeing the aurora

Indeed they have. And the hellish freezing winds I had to endure to catch them! [smilie=frozen.gif]
