I've been home for 3 weeks and been looking at the sky every night. On my last night at home, before going to work, it finally showed up. It was not so strong maybe a 2 on the k-indice. It soon got cloudy.
Used ISO 1600 and used the EF-S 10-22@10

1:Pano made from 6 images, adjusted curves, 20s and f/4@14mm

Lovely wide shots, I'll have to try that sometime. I'm impressed they stitched together so well.

I can't see 3-5, there's no images in them yet.

It's OK to stitch when the light isn't very active. The other images was more active.
Wonder if others got problems to see them?
You can always check out my Flickr but that will be smaller images.

Very nice work! I got to visit a bunch of relatives last year near Vestkapp, and was hoping to get to Tromso too, but that didn't work out. Norway is a beautiful place to live and the people are great!

They're working now, I can see #5 is unique with the clouds appearing to suck the northern lights away like a tornado, hate that :D lol

Yes, they were very nice. The light in the pano was very slow moving. But the fjords ones where moving faster

The clouds turned out nice.

Yes you should. Plenty of places to go for this. But I waited almost 3 weeks for this so you never know when you will see it :)

The light to the right is from the city of Tromsø. When you see it before processing it is reddish. I maxed the curves and it turns out nice.

Glorious!

When you see them in person do they look much like this?
Or are they different?
