Sometimes, we are asked about how a northern light looks like. Well... this is exactly how it is when you look up during an aurora display, even with pink flashes.
This video was recorded on 10th, during a G1 minor solar storm. It was 500 m from the border in beetween Norway and Finland, near the lappish towm of Kilpisjärvi.
Such an incredible show.

As the night falls the stars light up in the sky, spin around along with the vast universe. While the moon rises in the sky, it steals their glory...
...But everything can be sealed by mighty Zeus the Thunder maker!
Viewed from Northampton, Massachusetts, USA. Photographed through a home-made 6" f/8 Newtonian telescope and Canon 60Da camera. Exposures range from 1/1000 sec to 1 sec at ISO 400. The night was very cold, about 0F (-18C), and very clear.
This image sequence clearly shows the Starlink satellites as they passed over Arizona on May 26 2019. Although the satellites themselves are streaked you can still clearly differentiate them and see the train as it flies by. You can also see that the train is starting to separate and the inclination of the individual satellites changing. It seems the objects at the end of the train have shifted the furthest from the lead orbit. I shot the images with a DSLR while I was observing at the Kuiper 61in telescope on Mt Bigelow, north of Tucson AZ.
Had some clear skies and was able to capture the ISS moving in-front of the moon early this morning. This was my first attempt at capturing a transit. Was in complete awe watching it happen.
Captured with my Fuji Xt-3 and Canon FD 150-600mm lens with 1.4X teleconverter.
