According to the Auroral Oval there should be strong auroras – alas!

I was glimpsing what could be northern lights, but they were weak, and featureless. Disappointed I was heading to bed, but one final look outside revealed something interesting. I grabbed my camera and tripod, and rand outside. Unfortunately, before I had set it up, the display was diminishing. In just a few seconds it was changing from intense and fast moving shapes to more dim and slow moving. Short lived, but I still got some nice shots!
