Visibility II / V

I booked a cabin in Puolanga mostly for skiing purposes.
However, the time was such (spring equinox) that the aurora borealis would occur more easily.
Well, nothing miraculous was promised, but last night when I woke up, looking out the window, I still saw a reposcar.
So I put on warm clothes and went outside to photograph and admire.
Worth it. I can't remember the last time I saw clear green in the northern lights.
As a dot on the i, I still saw a moderately bright shooting star.

The last photo is the first and was taken with a cell phone camera from the inside through the window.
