Description

Tim said:
Took this last night from flight deck at around 65 degrees North. Only green seen visually as in photo. Hand held using my little Canon mu which I use for "happy snaps" in night mode. Took several others but this is the best. The lights gave enough light to be able to see the ground ( just )
Chris processed it by reducing the size and boosting the low levels by reducing gamma.

Wow! Tim. Not bad considering your equipment, and through a window. Were you expecting to see it, or did it just suddenly appear? Jan
