    I'm hoping to catch them sometime when I'm up in the BW, but I'm usually in my tent before dark.

    Beautiful sight. I still think the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life was a few nights of Northern Lights while I laid on a beach beside a lake in caribou camp in Northern Quebec. I've said it before, but I would make the trip up there just to lay there and watch them again. They filled the sky from horizon to horizon and the wolves sang us a song. Spectacular.

    We had an equal chance to see them last night as well, but it was overcast.

    We did see a small bear though :tu:

    I was up fishing on Sagnaga and managed to catch them. Definitely the brightest northern lights I've ever seen.
