Again this thread renamed itself Labestia2,
someone is hacked here,
Paco?

I may be "the beast" but this is beyond my hacking skills. I have no idea why this is happening. Sorry. Moderators?

At least the main title is still listed as it should be so it seems to only be Paco's replies that are renamed. Anyone can edit the title of a reply.
Let us go on with the original subject.

Thanks Jakov, Akira and Paco for further comments on Andromeda.

My comments were directed to the thread as a whole.  Fascinating view of our "surroundings".

 Edit: my posts keep changing the name of the thread to "Labestia" ( the beast in Spanish  ) the conspiracy plot thickens...

Strange.  Everything looks just normal on my screen every time I visit here.  I don't see any bestial problem.

(Somehow it feels I already posted these but they are not to be found anywhere: )

This is how it it can go after nearly an hour getting to the site and have everything set up and tracker perfectly aligned in a night that looked to be dark and clear (from last spring):

Anyone up there?




Trying to make the best out of it:




But it just got stronger:





Blasted by the aurora...




(D5100 and 12-24mm or 10.5mm, no tripod, just supported on the ground.)

Øivind, these are also great for the "Photographer in Action" section. 

What a beautiful and overwhelming aurora with the starry sky!  How was the temperature when you shot these?

The title on each post can be edited or changed. This can be easily done unawares on a cell phone's touch screen. I added three dots after the title on this post.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this theme. Thank you to all who are posting photographs.

Thanks Akira, it was not too cold, only about -10°C. One learns to put on a lot of warm clothes during those sessions even if it not at the coldest.
Sure the images could go both in "Photographer in Action" and Selfie section    , but it may not be good to double or triple post...

[Akira]

Øivind, thanks!  Given the beauty of sky, this section is the best place for the images for sure!

[Anthony]

Very beautiful.

[armando_m]

you get to the location on your bike ! at night ? nice !

Fantastic shots , really like the blasting aurora

[Jakov Minić]

Fantastic shots, Øivind!!!

[John Geerts]

Incredible spectacular, Øivind.  !!  Too good to be a 'selfie'   

[Øivind Tøien]

Thanks for the enthusiastic comments all of you!
I did not think I would regard aurora as an annoyance before I started with the deep sky imaging...   Of course when it turns "bad" enough it consoling with the magnificent display.
