Description

A 180° panorama from the coast of Norway taken from the deck of the Hurtigruten ship the ms Trollfjord, looking northward toward the Northern Lights, as friends Dave and Christine at right gaze at the aurora. This was October 19, 2019, southbound from the coast of Norway north of Tromsø and south of Skjervøy. The Kp Index was 1 to 2 this night.

The waning gibbous Moon is low in the southeast at right, lighting the seascape. The Big Dipper and due north is at centre. West is to the left; east to the right.

This is a 9-segment panorama with the 15mm lens at f/2 and Sony a7III at ISO 6400 (very fast!) for 0.6 second each (very short, to avoid ship motion) and stitched with Adobe Camera Raw.
