Last night was pretty sweet for northern lights! It was the 3rd night in a row that promised some aurora activity, but the first night that we had good enough sky conditions to actually see the lights. I headed out around midnight and met up with a friend to do some shooting. At first the lights were there, but they were really faint. After a while we noticed an increase in activity and we started to get some nice results in our images. It wasn't until just before 3:00 AM, however, that the lights really picked up. It was around 2:00 when my friend went home; we figured the activity was pretty much done at that point as we hadn't seen much happen in the previous 45 minutes. I decided to stay a little while longer and I sure am glad that I did! These were far from the strongest lights that I've seen, but they were very good. And they most likely would have looked better if we hadn't had the light of a half-moon to contend with. Even with the moonlight, the lights shone through and filled the sky with their beauty. It sure was an awesome night!
