Aurora borealis. December 3, 2025.
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.

Red Arc, and Aurora Corona. October 30, 2025.
There was a Red Arc lingering in the western sky from about 20:38 – 21:02 UTC. It was followed by a beautiful display of aurora corona.
Beautiful aurora corona overhead. These are most commonly seen in Northern-Norway, but these were observed from Ørsta, Norway (62nd Lat. N). Details: Canon 650D, 8mm fisheye-lens.
The Dunes / Auroral Dunes. October 29, 2025.
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.
