Northern Lights Now – Happy New Year. We may be in the solar minimum, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun posting about aurora and dark sky photography on our twitter feed. Feel free to come join us and join in the conversations!
Today we saw this tweet from David Blanchflower (@DavidBflower) and asked our community to help compile some night sky photos from each of these bucket list places:
