Summary: Solar activity continues to increase after a two-year solar minimum that ranks among the century's deepest. The return of sunspots and a resurgent solar wind is good news for aurora watchers, who are seeing some of the best displays since ~2006. See also August 2010.

As predicted by spaceweather.com, Aurora came out very brightly last night. Luckily clouds started to break up the direction of Aurora after 3 nights of cloudy/rainy sky. We could see a beaver working hard to build his lodge under the light of Aurora! More images from this fall at "http://www.blue-moon.ca/2010sep.html" Canon EOS 5D MarkII, EF15/2.8, EF24/1.4L II

A great first night of the season!! As soon as the sun went down I could see the aurora start. The show went on for nearly four hours. I am looking forward to another big aurora season in Abisko.

The first Auroras, this season. The last two-three weeks, we had clouds or fog, every night. But I do not recall seeing them this early, so I hope we get a good season. Lumix GF1, 20mm, F4.0 20 sek.

Tonight, the sky wasn't clear. But the clouds were not too big... so I went to watch the powerful northern lights of September. Details : Canon EOS 30D, 10mm, f3.5, 25 sec. exp.

These are among the best Auroras I've seen in Baker Lake since I've moved here. The exciting news is that I finally figured out settings that work with my camera. The images are still a bit grainy and I know I can get better, but they aren't blurry. I hope to be able to submit many more pictures over the next few years. Pentax K20D ISO 400 F/3.5 EXP 20 seconds
