How it started, and how it finished!

This is the same scene off the same camera, and captured with the same settings. The only thing changed is the moon and the aurora's mood. Cameras only see light: that is the craft.

Early in the evening as the moon is creeping into frame. The composition is focused on Nova, the mountain across the frozen lake. Birch trees to the left lean into frame like two old friends hanging out together. A gentle aurora is building up in an otherwise empty sky.

Several hours later and the moon has moved deeper into the shot. This was one of the brightest moments of aurora for the entire evening, with a leading edge of red/purple hues that dance rapidly and cause blow outs in the exposure. Due to the editing applied some of the green looks yellow. Editing the raw file you an often find any colours you want!

Still haven't had time to edit the photos from a couple of nights ago, so instead here's a few more from the night before that. Feb 23 in Norway.

Corona breaking over the southern sky with birch trees in the foreground and mountains rising from the opposite side of the lake. This is a 14mm lens so that top section of the frame is literally over my head and a little to the north.

Standing out on the lake gives an unobstructed sky and a little ice+snow to work in the foreground.

Arctic style disco lights, and the moon turned into a star.

Captured with the TT Artisan 14mm F2.8. Very compact little lens. Plenty of optical blemishes, but at this price who cares. Fun and compact. Good companion for the Lumix S9.

An unusual moment last night when a slither of moon created a star-burst in the night. I had dialled back this lens to about F4. Icy crystals were forming on the glass, creating some nice moon-flare as well.

yea, we thank you Mr. Bell for your effort and for sharing these spectecular moments

but, this kinda adds some scarry info, that the Sun is one wild beast and it's doing it's thing, big time #solarflares #solarflare

Was one of those nights last night. 5 hours of shooting. Hard drives are full. Left knee is killing me.

Totally worth it.

My editing screen in Capture One, featuring a very loud moment from an aurora timelapse with arcing green auroras over the mountains on a moonlit night.

Satellite spies northern lights over Iceland and Canada | Space photo of the day for Feb. 23, 2026

✨🔭 New observations of #Ganymede 🌖reveal a surprising similarity between the #auroras 🌌 on the #SolarSystem's largest #moon and those on #Earth 🌍. A team of space physicists has obtained new results suggesting that the fundamental physical processes that generate auroras are common to different celestial bodies.

Fig. 2. Closed and open magnetic field lines (red and blue, respectively) near the OCFB of Ganymede’s magnetosphere. The feet of these lines are
at the longitude of the auroral patches shown in Fig. 1 (one for each spin); the red lines start equatorward of the OCFB, while the blue lines start poleward. Juno-UVS observations performed during PJ 34 are projected onto Ganymede’s surface. The dashed white line is Juno’s trajectory, while the green cross is the projection of the spacecraft position during the closest approach. Panel a: 3D geometry of the magnetic field lines. Panels b and c: Projections as seen from above Ganymede and from Jupiter, respectively.

Fig. 1. Top-left panel: Projection of Ganymede’s FUV aurora acquired by Juno-UVS on June 7th, 2021, from 16:52 to 17:04 UTC. We used the
Ganymede-centered Phi-Omega (GPhiO) frame of reference, with z parallel to Jupiter’s spin axis and y toward Jupiter; x completes the right-handed
system. The brightness is integrated over 130.4 ±1.5 nm and 135.6 ±1.5 nm. The green lines show the predicted OCFB (Duling et al. 2022). The
background shades of gray (from dark to light) represent the surface illumination: surface that is not illuminated, only sunlight reflected by Jupiter,
only direct sunlight, and both reflected and direct sunlight. The green and red bars mark the direct and reflected illuminations, respectively. The
red dot around 90◦ is the downstream direction, while the red cross at−90◦ is the upstream direction. The orange dot at 0◦ and the yellow star at
∼–40◦ are the direction to Jupiter and to the Sun, respectively. The numbers 1–9 mark successive Juno spins. The green cross is the projection of
Juno’s closest approach. The orange boxes labeled a-g are reproduced in the seven panels, which show the patches observed along Ganymede’s
aurora smoothed using a 3 ×3 Gaussian kernel with 2 sigma that approximately matches the∼0.1◦ point spread function of UVS. We encircled
the visually identified patches. The color levels are logarithmic; for panels a-g, we visually display 100R (S/N∼1) as the lower level to highlight
the beads.

Day two of the #auroras It was not nearly as pretty to the naked eye. But I was better prepared for #photograhy so got a few shots anyway.
