Was a bit slow of the mark to notice we had clear skies tonight, and when I stepped outside to check the nordlys were already dancing.
Was a lovely show. The moon is super full tonight and lighting up everything. Hence the intense colours. Regardless, this moment of aurora was good enough to compete with the street light just behind the house :)
Ended up with more clear skies tonight, despite the forecast. Was testing out the S&Q video mode on the new camera today and it happened to be rolling when the aurora spiked in the early evening.
I love a little moonlight with aurora photography, even a full moon.
Here's a lowres version so I don't fill up the hard drive space on our mastodon instance :)

This morning we had a hint of light getting underneath the snow clouds. Enough to make us smile.
I'm using a 60-600mm telephoto by Sigma for this scene. It's a big lens that I usually don't make an effort to take off the shelf. This winter I've really loved having it with me for chasing birds and snow capped peaks.

Last shot of the night.
Clouds were rolling in and hiding the aurora activity. Just a few embers left at the camp fire. Was one of those night were a bunch of things lined up at the same time.
Full moon rising high enough over the mountain to paint across this part of the valley. Fresh powder snow the last few days, but not too deep than I can't walk through it. Warm conditions the week before so the creek was running, and hadn't frozen over yet.
