This particular aurora shot was a very early display, shortly after sunset, at approx 4.30pm. It was nice because the blues in the sky are still visible which adds to the image quality. I deliberately left the cabin lights on in order to add the glow. I was also running in every half hour or so to warm up and grab a mouthful of coffee. The patterns and trails of the aurora never failed to impress me, this one almost looping around us. It was as if it knew we were watching thereby putting on a display.
