Over the years we've been to Iceland, The Faeroes, Norway, Denmark, the far NW of Scotland and various dark-sky locations... each time we've had reasonable expectations of seeing the aurora borealis... and each time we didn't see it. Who would have thought that we'd get our first ever view of it from our back garden?
Here you go. ~3 hours condensed into a few minutes. Canon 1000D, 10mm, ISO 800, 15 second subs. 600 subs converted CR2 > tif in PS, resized to 1620x1080 in Irfanview, 4fps avi created in MakeAVI. It's best viewed in full-screen as it's 1080px high. Enjoy.
Note to self: clean the lens next time.
