Beautiful night skies

Apparently I slept soundly underneath the northern lights out on the trek…
Given the one thing I really want to see is the dancing lights, I am constantly scanning the forecasts and skies now that night has properly arrived.

Tonight wasn’t to be the night for the northern lights, but what an amazing sky.

And stars.

Of course the stars mostly look all jumbled up here and there are few constellations I recognise, most of them being upside down and all. But the billions of stars in the sky are so brilliantly clear. [As are the arcs of the satellites that constantly trace lines across the sky – another thing I hadn’t expected here…]

If it is still a little while until I see Nordlys, these sort of skies will keep me happy. And outside for hours under the night skies.
