The Aurora alarm went off again tonight just as was going to bed. It’s been some fantastic days with good opportunities to see it.

Photo is taken from our balcony in direction Grefsenkollen. There was still way to much light from the houses.

Photo taken with my some what old iPhone. The Pixel 8 Pro phone failed completely capturing this light and moment.

Aurora over the City
14mm in APSC mode, so equivalent to 21mm.
The Aurora borealis was very strong and overshined the early Dawn.
This night you could see the Aurora strait up in the sky and from North to East to South to West and back to North, it was all around, very amazing.
You need to be proper prepared for photographing the Aurora, I was not prepared, a friend of mine called me on the phone and told there was Aurora. So I quickly packed my gear, but I forgot the fast memory card which is very useful for long exposures, I forgot an extra tripod, I forgot a L-bracket and I forgot to check if the cameras was set at full frame setting, so this photo is only in APSC mode equivalent to a 21mm Lens, I forgot at the start not to focus to infinity, you have to focus manual and magnify to check the focus, but I got some good photo images at the end after all. Use aperture as large as possible, I used apertures 1.8 to 3.5, shutter time from 5 to 30 second and ISO from 100 to 320. Wide angle Lenses from about 14mm to 35mm. For this shoot I brought two Cameras and 3 Lenses, 14mm, 21mm and 35mm in a small camera bag
