I noticed the northern lights are quite spectacular tonight and while I'm no photographer, there is a live webcam nearby that does a pretty good job.

For those of you who stay up late...or get up early- the best time for viewing is around midnight and 2 AM (4-6AM Eastern time).

Now I don't have to stand out in the cold.

Or you can watch a lime lapse video for any given day in 60 second intervals.

Wow. I remember as a kid watching the Northern Lights flicker half way across the sky in northern Wisconsin -- they were so bright you could read a newspaper. But I don't ever recall seeing them as memorable as that!

COOL!

Although no lights at the mo...

I'll return when I've figured out the time of the day/night I have to be in here to hopefuly see some action... as I'm in Denmark, Scandinavia.

OH!

.. The Northern Star (the uppermost one) and The Big Dipper is there too... that's nice .. and telling us that the camera is pointing due North.
