Sweden Astrophotography - Northern Lights Kiruna Lapland

The sight filled the northern sky; the immensity of it was scarcely conceivable. 
As if from Heaven itself, great curtains of delicate light hung and trembled. 
Pale green and rose-pink, and as transparent as the most fragile fabric, 
and at the bottom edge a profound fiery crimson like the fires of Hell, 
they swung and shimmered loosely with more grace than the most skillful dancer.

-- PHILIP PULLMAN, The Golden Compass


How grand minimum of solar activity affect the Northern Light? I hope not so much and the Northern Light still will be visible during the grand minimum, but who knows 100%? So hurry up to see it now! Kiruna  Lapland Sweden Astrophotography - Canon 60Da, Canon EF16-35mm f/2.8L II USM lens.

Los Angeles Astrophotography California

"Man's sense of values ought to be revised. 
If all mankind could look through that telescope, 
it would change the world!"

-- Griffith J. Griffith


There are some night astronomical photos from my trip to Los Angeles, California.

Ironically, the Griffith Observatory is closing at night  :( so don’t have a lot of time to made photos. There is iconic view to Los Angeles.
