Ice Station Aurora 1

This is Chaos reporting in from Ice Station Aurora 1:

Temperature: 1 degrees F/ -17 degrees C
Sky conditions: mostly clear
Aurora conditions: none

Just a quick sky field shot to confirm my camera settings for the oncoming Aurora Borealis. It is my goal this year to show you some true Northern Lights. I have read that this is not an easy task. The sky conditions must just right. The aurora must occur and you must be up late at night or early morning and must be in the right location. Aurora watchers say they may only get one good image per year, we'll see!

I will be working on my camera settings so I will be ready.

As you can see, I am back in the dark and cold of Alaska!
