Description
Tommy Richardsen // Trichardsen // Facebook // 500px Β // Google+ // InstagramA really powerful aurora raging across the sky and forming a corona at the top.
This area is one of my favorite places in the region to shoot, really long beach with different rocks and stones, lots of mountain and a few rivers as well.

This was a really fast burst of aurora, vanished almost as quickly as it appeared, but it was indeed quite magical when blazing across the sky.

Thank you.
Normally the corona of the aurora tend to form right overhead, but this one formed much lower than usual allowing for a much better composition than you normally would get.

Wow, this is lovely. Would you consider posting more videos of auroras such as this? I can just imagine how amazing it looked when moving.

Thanks so much.
I have not done any timelapse videos in a while, but I might just pick it up rather soon.

That would be stunning. I'm still anxious to see my first aurora with my own eyes.

Thank you.
Oh you are going to love it.

You're welcome.
I think my best bet will be a powerful CME (and clear skies lol).

Usually there is a couple of those each year, so there is a chance.

True. But whether or not any hit Earth in the right way are less likely than CMEs in general.

Yeah, I have been out when it was like 95% chance of an x-flare which turned out to be one of the weakest displays I have seen, everything was right for a great show but the magnetic sphere kind just shut tight and let nothing in, shit does happen.

That's understandable. Earth does have a magnetic sphere for a reason.

Yeah exactly, and as unpredictable as it is,it can both provide great aurora display and diminish what was supposed to be great.
IΒ΄ve been out on nights where there was forecasted no auroras for a long time and seen the sky filled with strong auroras, anything can happen and by being out a lot at night you will surely increase your chances of seeing it.

I'll see if I can stay out and watch the auroras when the occur, but because of my work and school, I have to wake early in the morning.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah that would certainly get in the way of it.
What you should do is check www.spaceweather.com and when it is a higher chance for strong auroras at mid latitudes, then you should go out and see if you are lucky enough to see it.

I just checked. It looks like I may not see any tonight. The Aurora oval looks to be mostly over Europe and Russia.

Awesome.
Here I can never see them during summer as the sun is up 24/7, but I hope you do.

Hopefully, I just need to keep up to date. I'm roughly 45 degrees North. That gives me a roughly equal amount of Summer and Winter (except the mountainous area makes the weather a bit unpredictable). There's never a full day with, or without, the sun.

Having grown up where I have and gotten used to it I actually prefer it now, I love staying out at 2am and see the sun, even though winters can be a bit harsh and dark I quite love that too.
π: 0 β©: 1
lol I'll bet. I don't think I could imagine seeing the sun at 2am though. For the upper hemisphere, the summer solstice is coming soon. Winter is my favorite season though.

I love both summer and winter, winter due to the auroras we get here and summer because of the midnight sun, I guess I would probably favourite winter a touch more.
π: 0 β©: 1
lol I love winter because I love the cold. I can't stand too much heat. Mr. Freeze is an exaggeration of my case.
