The Northern Lights from the deck of the ms Trollfjord, a ferry in the Hurtigruten fleet. This was out of Tromsø sailing north toward Skjervøy. The aurora is showing some pink fringes from nitrogen; the green is from oxygen. This was October 16, 2019. The waning gibbous Moon off frame illuminates the scene. The Big Dipper is left of centre. So north is left of centre. This is a single 0.5-second exposure at ISO 3200 with the Sony a7III and Venus Optics 15mm lens at f/2.

The Big Dipper is at far left. So this is looking NE. This was October 16, 2019. This is a single 0.8-second exposure at ISO 3200 with the Sony a7III and Venus Optics 15mm lens at f/2.
A faint aurora in the moonlight over the coastal mountains of northern Norway north of Tromsø, from at sea on the ms Trollfjord. The Big Dipper is at centre. Illumination is from a waxing gibbous Moon. A single 1.3-second exposure at f/2 with the 15mm lens and Sony a7III at ISO 3200.
