Aurora over Northern Finland

[GooGaBu]

Few days in Finnish Lapland on a holiday, and had few nights of decent Northern Lights ..
Didn't really spend much time taking photos, but got some nice ones (even if actually looking at the lights is much more impressive and fun ).
Today had a KP6 strength aurora and captured this, in a sequence of 8 images, as the lights rushed from the horizon to right above my head.

Maybe slightly too long of shutter speed on this, as I think I had it on 4 seconds from earlier in the evening.
So technically not the best image - but one to keep for my own archives

Glad you saw them and managed to get a few shots to remember them by.

Yep, third year we’ve been to the same area for holidays. This year we were there for eight nights and had northern lights on SIX evenings and FOUR mornings. Well, as the sun doesn’t rise in Lapland this time of the year.. the mornings were dark until late and evenings got dark early. Other years we’ve maybe had few nights that were clear .. but this time we were really lucky. And also there was the G2 solar storm so extra intense lights.
