About this image

On a short visit to Denis Buczynski's observatory in the Highlands I was lucky enough to get a really nice active aurora covering much of the northern sky. It started as a low arc which moved higher in the sky and became very active for around 10 minutes. I have seen brighter and more dynamic displays from the north of Sweden but this was very nice indeed. I have around 1500 frames taken with the Sony and will string them into a short movie.
