Thanks, Chris. Yes, a dream come true indeed!

I was mainly using 10 and 15 second exposures. In retrospect, I probably could have gotten away with shorter exposures on the last night (images 5, 6 and 7) as the aurora was brighter and faster moving. Unfortunately, we only had an hour away from the lights of Tromso city that night (due to regulations about how much sleep our bus driver had to get) and there was little time to experiment. The earlier nights the aurora was quite slow moving but that night it was shimmering and there were rapid (perhaps even sub second) movements of small scale features.

Cheers,
Rick.
