Cloudy Skies = Few Northern Lights

Unfortunately, while we were in Lapland, the skies were very cloudy. Every. Single. Day. It snowed a bit most days (and a bit more one day), and at night, there was no chance to see the lights. On Saturday night, however, the skies cleared a bit and we were hopeful we would see something. Sure enough, an alert came through about 4 a.m. It was a rather weak showing with little movement, but it was definitely there for about 10 minutes. And then it was gone.

We got a picture or two, and one of the people on the tour went outside and got a better one (we didn't leave the cabin). And then a brother of one of the women, did a little AI work to enhance the pictures. Some people are just too clever!
