Details:
On September 18, 2023 there has been a strong geomagnetic storm, and for the following day forecasts looked still very promising. I currently spent my vacations in Norway, and was keen on witnessing as much aurorae as possible. Since at my location weather predictions were bad that day, i went further north to the island of Senya. There, the Norwegian forecasts predicted clear skies throughout the night. When i arrived however, clear skies were limited to a 10° high stripe in the northern direction, and the remainder was covered completely. Nevertheless i went out, setting up my rig and waiting for the green hue to appear at the northern horizon. Which it finally did. I was able to capture this atmospheric scenery of the aurorae, dancing above Okshornan massif, also called the Devil's Teeth, with some nice reflections in the beach ponds.
Later, the skies opened up and offered some more nicve aurorae, before activity decayed. However, having clouds isn't always a bad thing in aurora photography.
