Hi Peter
I agree with what others have said. Particularly about the weather. There is an exception however. If you don't drink it's not really that expensive in the far north. Also, unlike here,
mobiles and the web seem to work all the time regardless of where you may be. This was true in Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
During my trip in March and April this year I had 1 clear night in Iceland in 2 weeks. On that clear night the Kp index was 2. A lot of info on the net will tell you not to bother if the Kp index is below 4. You can see a couple of my pics in Nightscapes that show that this is not true.
The best advice I can give you from my limited experience is to check a space weather site to find the predicted Kp index and most importantly to go outside and look. The lights, as they are called up there, appear and sweep across the sky and disappear just as quickly.
It is a wonderful experience. I hope you get a few clear nights.
Greg
