Beam me up, Scotty

2 place (2016/04) group Contest Without Prize 'The dispute of elements'.

The northern light forecast was spot on for last saturday. After setting up on a scouted location, I had to relocate. The sky was too bright and the wind too strong. While driving by car to an other location the northern lights flaired up again and an 'emergency' stop was necessary. Setting up the equipment in a haste resulted in one on the most spectacular images that night. Kp-index 6. ISO-1600 / 10'' / 2.8
