Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "In Green Company: Aurora over Norway." I've only seen pictures of auroral displays. I can only imagine how it must feel to watch the sky shimmer and dance. This image is a three-exposure composite of a 2014 aurora in Norway. The setting is a summit of the Austnesfjorden fjord close to the town of Svolvear. Spectacular.

Thank you my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for November 9, 2020 entitled "In Green Company: Aurora over Norway.
This is a wonderful image highlighting the impact of the refracted auroral displays over Norway in extended photographic exposure.

APOD Background
"Explanation: Raise your arms if you see an aurora. With those instructions, two nights went by with, well, clouds -- mostly. On the third night of returning to same peaks, though, the sky not only cleared up but lit up with a spectacular auroral display. Arms went high in the air, patience and experience paid off, and the creative featured image was captured as a composite from three separate exposures. The setting is a summit of the Austnesfjorden fjord close to the town of Svolvear on the Lofoten islands in northern Norway. The time was early 2014. Although our Sun has just passed the solar minimum of its 11-year cycle, surface activity should pick up over the next few years with the promise of triggering more spectacular auroras on Earth."

I captured the Northern Lights south of the Arctic Circle in Leh-Ladakh, India. It was awesome watching the shimmering and dancing of the gasses in the sky.
