Orvill Aakra captured this photo of the Aurora Borealis, also known Northern Lights, on February 14, 2011 from one of the best spots to view the Northern Lights, Norway.

The Hyades star cluster and Pleiades (M45) is visible along with the Aurora Borealis over the fjord.

Orvill used a Canon 500D/Digital Rebel T1i camera at ISO 400, 20sec exposure at 10mm and f4.5.
