My new Aurora film - what a night!

#1

Post by MartinF »


I can´t believe I was lucky enough to get another night of spectacular Aurora... this time being prepared! :Astronomer1:

I took over 7000 images for timelapse and filmed a whole bunch in real time 4K. The results are some of the best timelapse sequences I have produced so far!

Feel free to watch my film from that night :)

Really beautiful video Martin.
Including your own reactions really added a lot. I saw a big storm on Kvaløya in 2015. Took me right back there.

Wonderful. Congratulations on the APOD

Maybe I shouldn´t reveal this, but that "remote place" is actually 10 minutes drive from where I live. However, the cold is still there and it does get a bit spooky in the darkness alone sometimes :animals-dogrun:
