Finally, clear skies and an opportunity to image the interstellar comet. Not optimal conditions, because the sky was a bit hazy. Nevertheless, an opportunity. This image was taken from Ørsta, Norway using a small refractor (Borg 67/FL) and a Canon 800D mounted on a star tracker. Time: 06:27 local time (UTC 05:27).
There were northern lights in the sky. But difficult to photograph due to a bright moon and clouds. Here are some pictures of the northern lights this evening. Most interesting was an east-west oriented arc/band that endured for about 25 minutes. Enhanced a bit because of the above mentioned. Location: Ørsta, Norway.

On the night of October 29th, 2025, there was a brief display of the
relatively rare phenomenon known as The Dunes over Ørsta, Norway.
The foreground featured a bright green aurora band, the more delicate (and faint) auroral waves unfolded behind it. The faint undulating patterns stretched horizontally across the sky, resembling ripples in sand.
A phenomenon linked to atmospheric gravity waves that is modulating the aurora’s brightness at higher altitudes.
The Dunes lasted for about 10 – 15 minutes, before they gradually vanished.

A meteoroid from outer space entered the Earth’s atmosphere. Hence a bright meteor could be seen streaking across the sky. Photographed at 21:13:07 local time (19:13:07 UTC). A Canon 650D, with a fisheye-lens was used. Location: Ørsta, Norway.
Finally clear skies, and an opportunity to image: Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon Details: SeeStar S30, and one taken though a Borg 67/Fl, and Canon 800D. Comet C/2025 R2 SWAN: DwarfLab Dwarf3. Location: Ørsta, Norway.
Nice blue auroras. Unfortunately most of the evening September 30 / October 1, 2025 was clouded out. But, fortunately it cleared up in time to capture some amazing blue auroras amongst the green and red. Location: Ørsta, Norway. Photo details: Canon 650D, 8mm fisheye-lens.
