Skylights.18

Last shots from my own little pocket phone camera of the aurora, taken on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th of January. Do view these on a larger screen if you really want to see them, in a low-lit room ideally. I fear that otherwise, many of you seeing this on your phone screen under bright surrounding conditions will think I’ve posted a bunch of black box photos. 🙂

Tips for anyone who might want to view them: don’t rush when you get the alert; instead, put on your layers of undergarments, middle garments and wind-proof outer garments. Expect to want to spend time looking at dark skies that your eyes tell you are just showing a bit of mist, until you notice the mist moves around, changes shape, and appears in different parts of the sky. The real life experience is less visually dramatic than what you will see in calendars, or in your own photos if you get a tripod and quality lens, etc. But it’s far more variable and awe-inspiring, from my own experience.
