Great show over Greenland last night while flying from L.A. to London! The aurora was really nice even through the plane window. Lots of activity in particular around 5UT. It was still visible when the horizon started to brighten. One of the pictures shows Venus near the horizon.

Porjus had some auroras the last month but these were really the opening scene of the coming winterseason. This is a good coronal hole and we on the polarcircle are ready for it! Especially nice because it is not freezing yet.....

After a long dry spell without much aurora activity in my part of the world, mid Canada. This mornings (Sept 22) 3 hour display was a thing of beauty.

From one year ago, I don't have the possibility to take this photos. The cloudy times not permit me that. But today, my luck are changed.
