Thanks Pete!

I was both unlucky and lucky with my Norway trip.
Unlucky as we were staying at a beautiful location that would have provided great foreground to any aurora photos but it stayed cloudy the whole time we were there.
Lucky that we eventually had a few great nights of viewing the aurora but we were on a Hurtigruten ferry and long exposure photography is a bit tricky from a moving boat


I just noticed the APOD today is a nice pano of the same aurora event from Lake Tekapo, taken up near the Mt John observatories:

Beautiful set of images there I spent several nights last year at Lake Tekapo during new moon in the hope that I would capture something similar. Despite a high kp index nothing eventuated, so you're very lucky

Well done.
