Details:
Last night me and a friend went on a trip with his snowmobile. We hoped for some clear sky for some milky way photos. As the moon were under the horizon, we expected to have pretty dark sky.
However, it was quite hazy, so the light pollution from the city of Sortland were quite strong, with this terrible yellow/orange street lights that is so popular here in Norway.
At -8 degrees C the moist air stuck like glue to our equipment, so we struggled with both fog and ice on the lenses.
With a sun without solar activity, and the graphs flatlined, we did't expect any auroras at all.
But to our big surprise, the sky started to turn green. And after a short while, a vivid, fast moving northern lights filled the northern sky from east to west. All together, a well spent Saturday evening.
The panorama picture is stitched together from 7 vertical photos.
