Description

First trip to Iceland and first time seeing the Northern Lights.

Travelled to Iceland, 22-25/03/2023 spending most of the time along the south coast east of the capital with little or no light pollution and over a new moon.
Lucky enough to witness the aurora on three out of the four nights. The last two nights were particularly spectacular with Corona overhead and greens and pinks just about discernible to the naked eye.

I like the fact that Orion is captured in this image just as it is setting - one can even just about  make out M42.
Also think I have finally found out where Santa lives!

Canon  800D astro moded, sigma 18-35mm Art at f1.8 and 18mm, ISO1600 6s exposure.

Cheers, Des
