Auroral Dunes. On 10 January 2026, around 19:55 local time (18:55 UTC) and for approximately 16 minutes, I observed a thin, diffuse green aurora showing clear horizontal ripple‑like structures. Thin clouds were present in the foreground and interfered at times, making interpretation more challenging both visually and photographically. Despite the cloud interference, the structures remained stable across several exposures — 20:01, 20:04, and 20:07 local time (19:01, 19:04, 19:07 UTC) — and the pattern is consistent with previously documented auroral dunes. Details: Canon 650D, 8mm fisheye-lens, Iso:1600, various exposure times.

A few images of the Northern lights taken on (a cold (-20 degrees C)) night of January 7-8, 2026. An auroral band developed in the north at around midnight local time. My first observation of the aurora this year. Please, find images enclosed with time in UTC. Details: Canon 650D, 8mm fisheye-lens, Iso:1600, various exposure times

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.
