I drove to lovatnet lake on Senja Island Norway to try and get the pristine reflection of both subjects in the still water. Around 1 am the aurora got brighter and advanced southwards towards the Milky Way, until it somehow completely engulfed it.

Story: In the ‘aurora and milky way’ series, this one turned out to be a showdown between the Milky Way and the aurora. The latter had been quite all night with a local K number of 1-2 and was way to the north. I just wanted to see just how much detail in our home galaxy one could pull out when that happens, considering that the light from the northern lights is much brighter.
