Well, let’s just say that I’m so glad that I was here the night before. Tonight, we had virtually no aurorae at all. I mean there was a few, but they were very very weak. Just to show that no matter how much you plan for a trip of the sort, you’re never guaranteed that you’ll get the chance to see any aurorae. So, never book for only one night, try to book for as many nights as you can afford (time & money). This way you can increase your chances of getting a show! There were some people who were not present the night before, and were there for only a couple of nights. One could see the disappointment on their faces! I only hope that tomorrow (my third and last night) would be better. Nevertheless, here are some pictures, so you can see the difference between the two nights’ showing.
I had to set the exposure to 30 seconds with a wider aperture to be able to capture the very weak aurorae of the night. Note again, that the pictures are in the middle of the night, the clear skies that appear on one of the pictures is due to the long exposure and wide aperture and the light from the full moon.
Tomorrow, I should be going for some dog sledding. I would still have preferred to go snowmobile driving instead, but nobody else in the group was interested, and they require two people minimum; for snowmobile driving.
