Aurora, 21st March in the backyard

This event was recorded between 2:30-3:30am Saturday morning of 21st March 2015 from a location just a few minutes walk from our house, Lundneset on the island of Hundvag. A similar event took place in October last year. The feeling is that this is not a bad place for aurora during the height of solar activity.

The island of amoy is seen in the images, it's populated, the light pollution from the residential area and industries are obviously not desirable however it is reasonably under control as seen in these images.

Interesting as well for this site is the visibility of the Milky Way, by about 4am Milky Way was seen rising over the town of Tau (another source of light pollution in the area. Even with the extensive light pollution, the backdrop of Tau with mountains and cliffs make it very pictorially pleasing.
