Aurora over Nærøysund bridge

Northern lights started around 9.30 p.m. at Rørvik, this was taken at 10 p.m. sailing south through Nærøysund ( Kp-index 5-6) . Also see inset picture!
Some time after midnight the Kp-index rose to an insane 8-9. The auroras began flickering like disco lights, moving incredibly fast- impossible to photograph anymore.

Northern Scandinavia or Iceland in winter is the place to go. But be careful, you get hooked;-)

HA, und ich hab sie Dir beim norwegischen Trollministerium bestellt... ;o)))
Aber Du hast sie wunderbar eingefangen...!

Gudrun ^club has replied to I Holzi

Tausend Dank, Iris! Auch für die Bestellung:-) Manche sagen ja, dass dieser Sonnensturm mit der SoFi zusammenhängt... Es war jedenfalls unglaublich. Zum Fotos machen reicht ein Kp-Wert von 5-6 wie hier dicke aus, drüber wird's aberwitzig...

Thank you so much, John! Actually, with clear skies you could have seen northern lights that night, they were visible even much further south in Germany and even Austria!

Beautiful aurora Gudrun. The green contrasts nicely with the deep purple of the sky. The bridge gives an idea of the scale of the aurora.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Graham Chance ^club

Thank you, Graham! That purple also belongs to the aurora, it was all over the sky. 16mm is not really wide enough;-)

A lovely aurora. Far too long since I last saw one, these images make me wish... :-)

Gudrun ^club has replied to tiabunna ^club

Thanks a lot, George! In the southern hemisphere it's not as easy to reach regions where you can easily see the aurora...we Europeans are lucky in that:-)

Gudrun ^club has replied to Ko Hummel ^club

Danke, Ko! Das war die Nacht, wo man die Lichter bis weit nach Mitteleuropa gesehen hat.
Als später der Kp-Wert auf 8-9 stieg, hat alles nur noch in einem Wahnsinnstempo geflackert, ich habe sowas noch nie erlebt!

Gudrun ^club has replied to Tomas K☼h☼ut

Sorry, no! I briefly thought of it but I'd have needed to push the ISO up quite a lot....So I just watched and enjoyed the spectacle:-)
