Thanks everyone. I enjoy being able to share something that is somewhat a passion of mine, filming the Aurora. Some nights they are just a weak ribbon in the sky, and then the next time they just light up the sky and giving the snow a greenish cast.

Yes, I regular take photos down to -45F during the winter, the camera battery and I are good for about an hour as there is usually wind to go with the cold in our area.

The white boat is a 19' Carolina Skiff, I do have a 16' Whaler but it is parked in a different location.

Magnificent! That ocean of snow hosts the boat well, and sure grounds the fabulous sky well, too. Kudos to you, and congratulations on the AC.
