Unfortunately, nothing could be done the day before yesterday. Everything was 100% overcast and thus no chance of seeing the auroras triggered by the solar storm. Yesterday evening it was clear – with a little fog on the ground – but the great activity was over. Nevertheless, it was at least enough for a little […]

Northern Lights
Yesterday evening it finally worked out. After I had seen that there was a good chance of seeing auroras, I quickly dismantled my telescope and drove to Grimmershörn bay.

At the station
