Tonight was just one of those nights when a dozen small things linked up and made one very special moment.
It's after 2am and I'm almost wound down for bed, but will post some pics tomorrow. We headed out into the forest to shoot auroras and had a wonderful show. My guests couldn't believe it. We woke them at 11:30pm and said we're heading out to shoot. I wasn't sure about making that call, but Shellie gave me a nod to do it anyway. So glad I did.
These folk have travelled across the world to photograph auroras, and we're doing our best to make that possible. Most of Arctic Norway and Sweden and Finland is under cloud cover tonight, and the solar winds forecast was negligible. But like I said, a dozen little things turned in our favour.
We have a really good rain shadow and tonight it delivered again. Clear skies. And we're right under the aurora oval, so even a KP 1.6 can generate a decent show.
Plus Shellie's reminder that, yes we're here to wake them in the middle of the night and say "get dressed!" Plus the zillions of generous things our friends here h

I'm rambling now. We had a nice day out earlier, and then a marvellous few hours shooting aurora by moonlight. There was one wave come through that filled the entire sky from East to West, North to South. It slowly expanded and stretched and rippled and danced and just kept changing shapes for about 10 minutes. It felt like hours.
