Some
of my friends ask me to go and take pictures of them with
the northern lights. It was fun, but very cold (-30 C).

I
finally got to witness my first bright aurora display after
moving to Canada from Norway 2.5 years ago. I was just outside
loading my wood furnace when I noticed the sky was glowing.
I quickly got my camera in time for the bright display at
around 11:30 local time.

20D with 17-40L f4.0, between 10-15 sec. exposure. Very
exciting and I also learned lots of valuable lessons for
the next display. |

We're
onboard CX840 going from HKG to JFK via a polarly routing,
and at around GMT 1800 while we were in Russian Chokurdakh
airspace cruising at 10100m (33100ft), we were able to spot
these spectacular auroras and we passed right under it.
The auroras were quite bright and dancing actively around
us, and it continued for more than 30 minutes until the
sun was up and it gets too bright to distinguish the aurora
anymore. The pictures are sort of blurry because of the
fact that the aircraft is moving through air, and the lack
of a tripod onboard the plane doesn't help either, few of
the pictures also suffered from a slight displacement of
the focus ring, but nevertheless I hope it gives everyone
a different view of auroras from the sky.

These
auroras were captured among clouds and fog at about 20.30
UT on March 10, 2008. From this vantage point this was a
brief display (the sky clouded over).

I
went on the inlet in front of the little village Inuit of
Salluit to take pictures of the northern lights. It was
great.
