Listen to me, man!

The point near the zenith where aurora were coming from. Aurora move fast, so in order to avoid the normal blurry look and to keep the stripes visible – as well as the noise! – I used ISO 10 000. The bright stars at the top belong to the Big Dipper, whereas the grey thing at the very bottom is ice.

o0o I always dreamed of seeing this spectacle ... having been told about
it by my Father when he was in Greenland ... and then by chance one night
on the return home this spectacle was seen in the sky ... but it was a lovely
pinky peachy colour and looked like material, like curtains moving across
the sky ... I did not have a camera ... no mobile phones in those days ...
but it is etched in my memory .. especially because living in the middle
of England ... we just do not see this ... but next day it was reported ...
a rare sighting of the lights ... and YEAH ..I saw them ... ;-) and so for me
and many they are such a wonderful sight to see for real ... as indeed
it is great to see yours here ... ;-) o0o

Thanks Bev. They indeed look like curtains, even though they don't move in waves like curtains do!

strange ... the ones we saw did actually move like curtains ... ;-)

Spo replied to beverley:

Weird. My recollection of them was that they moved like curtains, and when these didn't, but sort of zoomed or flickered from place to place, I was a bit disappointed. Perhaps there are different kinds of aurora, like the dancer and the band. :-)

beverley replied to Spo:

different areas maybe make them different ... I don't know ... but once in Alaska I saw
them six in the morning ... they were static and a shining bright kind of light ... and so
it seems they are different depending where you are viewing and the atmospherics
at the time ... but such a wonderful sight ... your green is beautiful !
