phenomena

venus and moon :D venus is that bright single dot so low in de sky... the silhoutte of the pine (xmas) tree on the left and a bare brunch on the right are indications of how low it was... since the night was still young. they were in the west.

and with the sky as clear as this, orion and ursa major was both up flanking me ^^ that was how i confirm the direction of moon and venus. this was my best effort capturing orion. even one of the stars that make his belt is missing >.< ursa major is entirely too dim... how i wish to have a DSLR at time like this...

and the show that steals the glamour of the night...

notice anything?
the dash of green on the sky, upper mid in the picture, see that?
top right corner of the one below... and joined by another dash of brighter orangy red ^^



aurora in gothenburg?
a check in de internet told us that the magnetogram in Kiruna shows a modest surge at 6.30pm and peaks just above 35nT around 6.45pm. the pics are taken between 6.30 to 7.00pm :P de green one did shift in shape and colour, but we are still unsure. happy til hugging each other anyway, haha...

another couple of pics that i enjoy from today
