I woke up early to photograph a cool planetary alignment of Venus, Mars, and Jupiter with a quarter moon. I lucked out because the aurora was still going strong at 4:30 am! We were also fortunate enough to have clear skies, something that was not too common last autumn.

Twilight started to take over the sky, but not before we got an awesome view of 3 planets and our moon!

The following evening we were greeted by the northern lights once again. It was a short-lived, but still an awesome display!
