March, aurora month 2015

A major solar event took place over the weekend and the following Tuesday 17th Mar, major aurora outbreaks were witnessed as far south as Germany and the Netherlands. Of the maximum 9 of the index, the weekend's solar ejections initiated aurora kpi index of 8!

Of course I was sleeping when these wondrous events too place. Having given up of viewing anything with the forecasted clouding over of Stavanger, I decided to stay indoors and event slept earlier than usual. Alerts, smses, and FB messages went ignored confident that no aurora would be visible that night.

Of course I was wrong, and completely lucked out on probably what was the biggest event yet for the year. Friends were posting awesome auroras taken with iphones from their balcony and taken out on their respective porches.

What follows were desperate attempt to chase the aurora albeit a few days too late ...









These images were taken amidst heavily moisture laden atmosphere on the coast south of Sele on the 19th March, a few days after the major outbreak. With extreme light pollution, spotting auroras with naked eyes is almost impossible. These were coaxed out of RAW files during post-processing.

Sele Havn Aurora

Approximately a week after the Tungenes aurora, another clear sky "event" was to be had. This time a less light polluted site was chosen - Sele Havn. It's probably the most intense show yet this far South for 2015. It was also almost full moon, an almost perfect combination of high activity, faster than usual shutter speeds, and lower ISO overall ... :)

The action was also captured on (HD) video.

Sele on a sunny stormy day

It's Sunday ...though there's a storm warning out, it looks like there's gonna be small sunny breaks in between just before sunset. Off to Sele we went, a small community along the North Sea route just south of Sola.
