Details:
The Northern Lights were not out of the ordinary but the Milky Way was. At least for this latitude. In the center of the image, just above the Auroral band, the white blob is the Great Andromeda Galaxy. To the left, again close to the Aurora, we have the Pleiades, the most famous open cluster in the sky, aka The Seven Sisters. Above the mountain, the faint pinkish patch is The North America nebula. And, yeah, the horizon is still bathed in sunset colors even though it was midnight.
