Thanks Ginge for your very positive comments,  how are things in Norway?

I visit Norway quite a lot, but I have never seen an aurora.

Hehe, yes I know, and that beer offer is still standing you know! Things are fine up here although I'm a bit down as astronomical darkness is gone and with it the season for dso-photography. Norwagian spring and summer can be truly wonderful though, if we get the right weather mind you.

Best regards!
