I’m feeling sad that I missed the extensive Aurora Borealis activity last night, so I might as well share some photos from the only time I have seen it - while onboard @hmcs.ncsm.margaretbrooke during last summer. I don’t know that I did it justice, but wow!

Another colour and combo, though not the same image. A MH-60R approaches in late afternoon. This was a PhotoEx with image techs aloft, so I had to take these through the bridge window - hence the flare in the second image. @royalcannavy @rcnatlantic
