After last night’s fantastic aurora then I didn’t dare to hope for a repeat this evening. We certainly did not get a repeat in the end, but it was still a good aurora by normal standards with some active dancing rays and colours by eye as well as plenty of bands across the northern sky. We went to one of my favourite spots this evening as the wind was absent and I hoped to catch some reflections in this small lake. Some bright moonlight really lit up the scenery! Unfortunately I had some camera malfunctions during the brightest part of the aurora, which frustratingly meant I missed most of it with the camera although it was spectacular by eye.
