It was four years ago when I saw a picture of the noctilucent clouds and aurora together. Since then I have wanted to capture that picture myself.
Two nights ago I was enjoying myself at a wedding. Just for a habit I looked at my cell phone. There was a notification of an ongoing magnetic storm! Too bad it was still daytime and as the night drove nearer, the magnetic storm appeared to fade away. That's why I was more than surprised to see very bright auroras when I went outside around 23:30. Half an hour later we decided to leave the party. On the way back we spotted a bright NLC display. I was thrilled. When we arrived, I instantly changed my suit and tie to something more practical, took my camera and tripod and ran to the nearby field. There I stayed for nearly two and a half hours and enjoyed every second of it.
