We were lucky enough to see the aurora on five separate occasions whilst in Norway and Sweden for a month. We missed a few good ones too, according to others, though.

The first image was taken from our balcony in Bogen, (near Narvik) Norway, with a Moon not far past full. 3 secs, f/2.8, ISO 800.

The other 3 images were taken from Bjorkliden in Sweden (near Abisko NP) with a temperature of -6 deg C.

The second image was 15 secs, f/2.8, ISO 1250, f=10.5 mm.

The third image was 10 secs, f/2.8, ISO 1250, f=22 mm

The last image was an attempt to capture a fast-moving curtain - but I wasn't quick enough. I had to refocus the lens (on Jupiter), and 3 seconds is still way too long to capture the detail. Next time(?), I plan to crank up the ISO to say 6400 and try a much faster shutter speed (say around 1/25 sec - 1/100 sec).

All images taken with a Nikon D7100.

Cheers, Chris
