The coronal hole provided us with amazing auroras for a third night in a row! This evening we went to a lake to try and capture some reflections of the aurora in the water, which only works earlier in the season before the winter freezes over much of the water surface. The night worke

Enhanced solar winds from the earth-facing coronal hole continued to produce great aurora activity this evening. We had to wait patiently for it to begin, but then had a big burst of activity just after 11pm which corresponded with a strong drop on the magnetometer. Another great even

A great show tonight! The nights are slowly getting darker as winter approaches, and I was able to watch the aurora from 21:15 and continue until well after midnight (it was still visible when I went home). Some of the show was very strong, with bright moving bands of aurora high in t

It was a beautiful still night tonight, with a bright moon that lit up the landscape as if it were daylight. The aurora was mostly low in the sky to the north, but glowed nicely over the top of the Esja mountains. Image 1. 22:35 UTC. Settings = f/2.8, 14 mm, ISO3200, 9 sec. Image 2. 2

I was out this evening from 23:00 until 00:30 UTC near the Esja mountain, and there was aurora activity throughout but mostly as an arc in the northern sky and without too much movement. However, several small bursts of dancing rays were also seen. Image 1. 00:06 UTC. Settings = f/2.8

We went aurora-chasing in the south-west of Iceland in the Grindavik and Kleifarvatn areas this evening. The aurora was active at dusk before the sky was completely dark and we saw some good activity in several bursts between 22:30 and 00:15 UTC. Image 1. 22:36 UTC. Settings = f/2.8,

There was good aurora activity this evening, resulting from a solar wind stream from a coronal hole. However, the weather on earth was challenging, with thick clouds and snow showers in south-west Iceland. I could see some green behind the clouds from 19:30 UTC, but the cloud gaps at

An aurora was apparent on my test photo facing northwards at 21:50 UTC, and probably had been visible for a while but was difficult to see by eye due to the bright light from the full moon! I didn’t go out until 22:40, by which time there were a couple of weak bands of aurora lo

The sky was so clear and the weather so still this evening that I went out at 19:05 UTC even though there didn’t seem to be much aurora activity. The view along the northerly horizon from my usual location is blocked by mountains, so I am not always able to see the very weak act

I noticed aurora at just after 18:00 UTC this evening, as the sky was especially clear at the start of the night. A low arc of aurora was extending across the northern sky and was just visible above the mountains. I headed out with the camera, and activity increased steadily with the
