This evening saw the return of the same coronal hole that had brought auroras since September, but the hole was very much smaller and we saw lower activity this month. Nevertheless, we saw some nice aurora early in the evening when it wasn’t even dark, and again later on after midnigh

There was a nice aurora this evening, with the usual low arcs in the north but also some bursts of active moving rays and some more static tall rays hanging higher in the sky. A beautiful but cold evening to be out. Image 1. 23:38 UTC. Settings = f/2.8, 14 mm, ISO3200, 9.1 sec. Image

A reasonable show tonight with a few bursts of activity although the aurora remained mostly as a solid arc across the northern sky. Image 1. 22:58 UTC. Settings = f/2.8, 14 mm, ISO3200, 16 sec. Image 2. 23:36 UTC. Settings = f/2.8, 14 mm, ISO3200, 10 sec. Image 3. 00:02 UTC. Settings

There was a very weak aurora this evening, comprising a low arc in the northern sky that was visible by eye as a pale green glow. Image 1. 22:57 UTC. Settings = f/2.8, 14 mm, ISO3200, 3.5 sec. Back to top of page

Another consecutive night of aurora activity, although tonight’s show was generally less impressive and lower down in the northern sky. Image 1. 19:10 UTC. Settings = f/2.8, 14 mm, ISO3200, 9.3 sec. Image 2. 19:27 UTC. Settings = f/2.8, 14 mm, ISO3200, 5.5 sec. Image 3. 19:29 UTC. Set

This was one of the strongest and beautiful displays of the season, with the aurora easily visible by eye before 7pm even before the sky was fully dark. There followed multiple bursts of aurora, with bright bands directly overhead and many different forms of dancing rays. Image 1. 18:

There was aurora this evening mostly low in the north over the timeframe that we were out, although the magnetometers showed a strong drop later in the evening. We did some a nice band of strong pink, and also some tall rays over Reykjavik. Image 1. 21:20 UTC. Settings = f/2.8, 14 mm,

There was a strong aurora this evening with the return of the coronal hole that produced great auroras in late September. However, the gale force winds outside made it very difficult to operate the camera at my location, and keeping the tripod upright was virtually impossible. I took

A small show in Akuryeri this evening. We saw a stronger arc from our accommodation, but by the time we got outside and away from the light pollution then the activity had died down a little. Still a beautiful night to be out! Image 1. 20:11 UTC. Settings = f/2.8, 14 mm, ISO3200, 7.8

We were in northern Iceland for a few days during October, and took the opportunity to visit the Goðafoss waterfall. We had to wait a while for another group of photographers to leave, after which we had the location mostly to ourselves. There are (quite rightly) some barriers to keep
