These are a few shots I got when I was in Iceland (though they are nowhere
as nice as the shots recently posted on APML):

I shot these from a vacant lot next to my hotel, so t

foreground illumination is from city sodium and mercury lights.

Very nice pics, Dave - the java 2-frame "movie" is a great idea. I was also 
interested in the northern hemisphere auroral activity map you have on your 
page - seems like you had no need for me to tell you where was generally the 
best area to go, a few messages ago! What surprised me about that map is that 
the activity it depicts is lopsided (towards Iceland and away from Alaska); 
I'd have expected it to be more symmetrical about the magnetic pole. So it was 
worth seeing that too.
