As the bright moon was about to rise, I noticed an Upper tangent arc above the mountainside. A brief, and mild display of the northern lights occured, and colored the wintry scene. A few images of the display displayed below. Photo details: Canon 650D, Samyang 8mm fisheye-lens.

The weather finally collaborated. Albeit, the moon strongly influenced the conditions, it was nice to get a view of the comet. Or, rather a few photos of the comet. A couple enclosed. It was not possible to see the comet without optical aids. Photo details: Canon 800D, Sigma 50-500 mm lens
Great space weather, but no so nice earthly weather. Anyhow, here are a few images from October 10/11. Timestamp on images. Some adjustments in contrast and brightness, to compensate for fog and clouds (and rain). Details: Canon 650D, Meka fisheye-lens.
The sky was briefly (somewhat) clear for a brief colorful display of the northern lights. A couple of images snapped around UTC 21.37. Details: Canon 650D / Samyang 8 mm fisheye-lens.
It finally cleared up (somewhat), but not so good conditions. It was indeed a colorful display, in between clouds, and beyond fog. However, the most interesting feature was an east-west oriented arc. It formed at about UTC 21.25 and lasted until about UTC 21.36 it was followed by an intense aurora. The arc appeared in the same loacation where I previously most often have seen/observed STEVE. Please, find timestamp on images. Photo details: Canon 650D, Samyang 8 mm fisheye-lens
