I've returned to Canada's North for a brief photo assignment. Last night the northern lights returned to the evening sky. Nice to see the splashes of light dance in the sky again. The red appears to be lens flare. Photographed with a Nikon D700 and Nikor 12-24mm lens f/2.8. 1200 ASA, 14 seconds.

According to the auroral oval I should have seen auroras, but alas! As I was heading to bed, I took a last look outside, and there it was! I grabbed the camera and tripod and ran outside and captured these photos, due north facing Oslo, before it all was over. A very short lived, but great spectacle. Nikon D700, 24-70mm F2.8,6sec, 1600 ISO. 59.82363, 10.75304

Hi Tony What a great show tonight!, My friend, Conor McDonald, and I watched a lovely aurora which was visible for 3 hours from the Glenshane Pass, 00.30-03.30 BST, in the form of a bright green band with several very tall vertical rays over 20 degrees high, quite a show!. Here's a few images I took. Canon 450D ISO1600 18mm various exposures

I was waiting for the CME to hit, and after checking our own aurora-oval map (http://full.storm.no/tv2ver/borealis.aspx) I want out at 01.00 AM and the display was very nice. Nikon D9, 35-150mm, F3.5, 5 sec and 20 sec, ISO 1250
