<p><em><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Here&#8217;s a celestial gift for the Easter season – a display of northern lights on Good Friday.</span></em></p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t a particularly clear night but in this case the clouds added to the photos. In one direction I was shooting the Northern Lights to the northeast, while to the west at the other end of the yard I was shooting the winter sky setting, plus having a quick look at Comet PANSTARRS. It was certainly a sky filled with attractions.</p>
<p>Happy Easter to all and I hope spring is finally arriving where you live – assuming you are a northerner!</p>
