Fantastic Northern lights tonight

ArcticShooter · 15th of February 2010 (Mon)

The weather have been terrible this weekend. So I didn't have any high hopes for clear weather tonight. But it got cooler and it cleared up. The magnetometer at the local University went through the roof. Excellent conditions. I didn't even wait for the kids to goto bed. My wife saw me tripping and told me just to get outside already

Thanks to my understanding wife.
Here is the self portrait that some of you have asked for

Thank you. When I packed my gear and getting ready to go home. A load of Italien tourists came, they where on a photo course. That is value for the money.
