Looks like northern lights to me. Seems you are in a spot where you should be able to see them on a nice night.

Here in the north, even if there are no northern lights visible, it is sometimes worth if to take a fairly long exposure of the sky anyways, because your camera can pick up a hell of a lot more over that period of time than our eyes can.
