Week three in Norway to observe the Northern Lights has now ended. The Moon has reached Full Moon phase so I naturally expected to see less Aurora. Was I ever wrong. Even under bright moonlight and twilight, the Aurora has been glorious up here in northern Norway. Some photos https://t.co/nJjsTZF5Lg

I did not think my second week in Norway would deliver even better aurora borealis displays than week one, but it did! We have observed Aurora on 6 of the last 10 nights! Incredible! Plus the daytime scenery is also very enjoyable. Ready to start week 3. https://t.co/UuOoRKv6Kp

Attached are two photos acquired from my front yard in Calgary, Canada on Feb 1, 2025. One telephoto image captures the Moon with earthshine near brilliant Venus! I also used a 100mm lens to record Venus, the crescent Moon and Saturn below. The Moon will continue to march https://t.co/60e72AUgBF

Last night it was mostly clear (and very cold) in Calgary, Canada. If you looked to the southwest after sunset, you could observe brilliant Venus and Saturn. With a wider view you could see four of the five naked-eye planets. See attached panorama taken January 18 with some thin https://t.co/ENJnqpzYza

If you had clear skies on the evening of January 13, you might have seen the Moon pass over Mars. Here are a series of 4 images, 2 are captured using a telephoto lens and two were at prime focus using a Celestron 8 telescope (2000 mm focal length). https://t.co/VHSrpW26GP
