All-sky aurora - 23.3.2023 at 23.54 Valkeakoski Observation number 113772

Visibility IV / V

Anja Haavisto, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

I had been waiting for a long time to get the chance to photograph the northern lights. There was a promised G1 solar storm. I went to check the cloud situation and it was starting to clear, so I went to take a picture.
