I noticed a degradation in radio conditions and this afternoon the skies were clear and the Aurora danced overhead.
This is my first serious attempt at capturing the Aurora on camera. It is not so easy after all and there is obviously much to learn with regard to camera settings etc.
Last night around midnight I noticed that there was a beautiful Halo around the moon.
I grabbed a few photos and some meteors may be seen too.
Note: I was mistaken thinking the green smudge was a meteor trail. I have been advised that this is simply a case of lens-flare. Oh well…

At this time of year my location has only a few hours of twilight.
I worked EY8MM in Tajikistan, who had good signals today.
Noise levels are so low now that I use the Arctic King in both transmit and receive.
