    What a treat dude! One thing I really like about the latest aurora blooms. People all over Europe started taking decent photos with their phones, so all of a sudden it makes your photos believable. Previously everyone thought my northern lights photos were extremely heavily edited and even photoshopped.

    Saw my first Aurora that week, Oct, 7th then this one again, Oct 10th, twice in a week! To this day, the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life, especially when it's above! So humbling! Definitely the most amazing thing I've ever photographed to date! My pictures still need work, but I'll 100% strive to get mine looking like yours, these were some jaw dropping captures, unbelievable!!!

    Thank you for sharing this video! You got some amazing shots! The Aurora was amazing that day too on the other side of the Atlantic. I got some amazing shots as well in Northern Wisconsin that night. I had never seen so many Red colors! The red colors were even visible to the naked eye! It was an awe inspiring experience. We also saw the "flickering" or dancing of the Aurora's as well; it almost looks like looking at a giant camp fire in the sky!

    It really was a bonkers evening Mads. Started off where I lived with a think veil of cloud that was softening the aurora colours then just after midnight the clouds cleared just as the conditions went totally crazy. Still can't believe what I witnessed and wont forget that night for a long time. Your footage and images were jaw dropping and what a great addition to all the images you have captured locally in Denmark. Was that a meteor in your footage at 22:52 in the right hand side of the frame as well?

Every direction was a whole different view & I finally got the Aurora over water as one of my goals here in north central U.S. My Aurora alerts stated it was a G-4 AP 8.67 where I was photographing.... What a night I'll hold dear forever!

    I shot a time lapse that night (from 02:22 to 08:00). 2001 images compressed into 1:23 minutes.
    Worked out pretty ok but I don't have the local foreground interest on my property that you have.
    However, it is only a minute walk from my kitchen to the field where I set up my kit. Once I was satisfied everything was in place I went back inside to make tea. It was a good night for lights.
    April 24 2023 will never be matched for me. I said goodbye to a special dog that day (Spectra). The night the skies were beyond brilliant.

    While you were shooting this video, i was standing on a hill a few miles outside of a town on the Lancashire/Yorkshire border here in the UK and similarly whooping and gasping with delight with one of my very best friends. We had set off a bit late and hadn't held out much hope of seeing anything. As soon as we climbed out of the van, and turned lights off we sounded just like you. Red sky all around! It was a night of much swearing and laughing and whooping. The farms down the hill must have wondered what all that noise was about. And just like you, i was shooting south. And then west and east and north and up... It was so vast it became overwhelming. And it kept coming in waves. I'm still smiling at the memory of it. We arrived at the top of my hill around half 9 UK time and didn't leave until nearly 4am.
    Your video has just brought it all back to me and i'm sending mental hi-5's to you and everyone else who gets this because it's just so awesome to know someone else felt the same.

    This is easily my favourite video of yours Mads, for so many reasons. Partly because of the stupendous images, partly because of the incredible videography of the Auroras, so that we could see exactly what you were seeing. However, what I really love is your reaction/commentary to what you were experiencing. I felt exactly the same when the corona exploded overhead here in North West England as well. I am curious what settings your camera was on that you used to video everything? I am so keen to get it on video but haven't been able to on my camera so far. I'm off to Iceland next month so would love to get this figured out.
