Spent
5 hours waiting for the aurora in -10 degrees celsius -
and it finally delivered. Superb show for about 15 minus,
then it went quiet again. The moon really contributed making
the scene rather picturesque.

Active aurora
could be seen in the twilight as early as 15:30 UT. Despite
temperatures as low as -25°C I watched this display up until
Midnight when cloud finally covered the sky; there were
several active periods ranging in length from a few minutes
to half an hour.

I was surprised
that I saw such beautiful northern lights. The moon was
nearly full.

About half an
hour display of auroras. We were lucky it was a clear night
after a lot of snowing.

The
geomagnetic storm failed to ignite a big display between
the snowshovers tonight. Only brief sparks of light danced
across the skies.
