p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Aurora storm on the southern sky

(more pictures on the
2. page)

When I found out that a CME had hit the Earth I was thrilled and pessimistic. Thrilled because of the magnitude of the impact but pessimistic because it was still 10 hours till night here in Finland. I was scared that the auroras would vanish before dark.

But I soon found out that my fears were needless and the aurora display was... Phenomenal.

Here is the first photo I managed to finish. A 14 pictures panorama. I´ll be posting more when I´m done

Beautiful!
That Aurora was quite strong - visible all over Northern Europe and Asia.

Thanks! It took around six minutes to shoot this panorama. Luckily the arc wasn't so active at that time.

Here's a couple more, they are not in their final form yet, I'll have to find more time to get them right.

Thank You

I made a second panorama also and edited the first a little, so don't forget to press f5.

Over two hundred photos... Lots of picking and editing ahead. But I'm not complaining

I have to mention a strange phenomenon that happened that night. I heard several times a hissing noise, like that of a radio that's not tuned. Several other people also reported hearing the same kind of noises that night. The noise wasn't constant, it came and went sporadically.

Oh, and thank You!
