There was a fantastic blast of Auroras tonight. To bad I had to get ready for work tomorrow. It was a fantastic view. The Aurora was really active and had lots of movements. Most of these image are taken with ISO 800 and 15-20s with my Canon EOS 40D

As soon as the snow-clouds departed this evening the auroras appeared in the sky and were unusually bright during the whole night - even in the far south. The structure was composed of very distinct bands and curtains in green and violet, and some fainter coronas. An evening that I will never ever forget - an aurora feast!

Lovely night. The most beautiful display of auroras I've witnessed this winter. And they were all over the sky. Big arc went right across the sky on the southern sky and a smaller and more vivid one in the northern horizon. After 8pm UTC the auroras "exploded" and there was some nice movement, and they also cast faint shadows on the snow. Seems like the deep solar minumun could be at end. Calm before the storms, perhaps ?

This is my kind of sunset!
