Seasons end?
Last night I went to Haukipudas, Finland, trying to see auroras, as the Bz pointed southwards and magnetometers showed good signs.
We aurora chasers, hunters and worshippers fight a battle against the magic midnight sun which cannot be won. Every night it getting brighter and the chances for auroras fade literally into the twilight of the night.
As you can see from this photo - taken at 1.30am - the aurora is barely visible above the horizon. I saw something moving but had to take a test shot with the camera to be sure.
There are still a few night with the sun lower than 10 degrees but we will need a strong impact to see some nice auroras overhead.
