In just one out of 70 frames shot during one hour after midnight, I was lucky enough to get a Orionid meteor on my chip. During the hour I spent outside in a freezing wind I observed a total of 8 meteors all originated from a point slightly left of Orion. Photo details: Nikon D70, 18mm, ISO650, f/4, 30s. |

Auroras partly blinded by the disco-skylights at the Trysil ski-resort (3 hours north of Oslo - only 61.5 degree N). Still the picture turned out great with the moon and the fog in the valley. Photo details: Panasonic Lumix FX01, 100asa, 30s exposure. |
