Nice display. We get these directly above our head here frequently. I especially like the moving constellations and constant flurry of satellites crossing at high speed in the background.

I've only seen the northern lights once where they were really strong and they were still only a fraction of this. Nonetheless they were absolutely breathtaking, something everyone should witness in person at least once in their lifetime.

just amazing!! i loved watching the shooting stars and the big dipper making its way across the sky!! *two thumbs up*

it looked like the perspective of the camera was above the aurora, but I could be wrong

Always dreamed of watching it myself, absolutely beautiful.

Mind-Blowing....

exposure time looks a bit long, makes it a little noisey in the sky and actually blows out and smears some of the aurora detail, and the whitebalance might be a little off. Other than that its awesome.

All of those one-frame smears of light are actually bugs flying through their porch light while the digital camera is exposing for a few seconds. Only a couple of planes and a couple of possible satellites.

I see about 10 satellites, and the galaxies M81 and M82 ..I think
