Failed aurora
« on: December 24, 2016, 15:20:17 »
Back on NG after what seems like an age, due to major computer problems, I only have one image post, shot while waiting for a predicted aurora which never appeared due to clouds and rain. Cars were whizzing along the road behind me all the time, and this is one of them.

Happy Christmas to everyone.

Happy Christmas!

At least you got some green light in the photo, even if it was not the aurora.

Happy Christmas also to Mayumi.

Very nice: I like it.

Reminds me of Close Encounters of the Third Kind for some reason.

Glad you are back, Dave!  A nice, scintillating image.

Thanks you all - Andrew, Anthony, David and Akira - I hope you all fared well over the holiday. Christmas here was 3 days of continuous battering from gales of 70-130kph. But we seem to have survived.

aurora or not, it is a fascinatingly successful image in any event.
