Somehow I don't think that I am going to get an answer to my question here. Oh Well. hmmm, seems my last comment is also trapped in moderation.

Thanks for a good and interesting time with you and the team. The sky is mostly to bright for the Light at this time, but it also good to have a time off after a long and busy season. A good season with a lot of nice displays, after all. Maybe we meet next season :) All the best Kjetil Skogli, Tromsø Norway Hi Chris.

Btw you look really relaxed and confident, quite different from even a few months back and a totally different person compared to the early episodes. Like you're the proper host of the show (no offence to Patrick Moore) On a 50 inch plasma screen it was really something to see those colours… Btw you look really relaxed and confident, quite different from even a few months back and a totally different person compared to the early episodes.

Rough quote: "There is more energy being dissipated by the aurora borealis than in all the power stations in the world put together!" ... "mostly 100km above our heads" ... "if we could gain access it it would probably solve our energy needs forever" ... "difficult to get a plug up there tho." : -) Excellent piece of information. I shall store it away and bring out over a pint with friends sometime - "solutions please". There is a fantastic comment made during this video (3 mins +).

Your opening statement intrigues me, do you have a measure of 'a lot of attention' as the STP community could find this quite useful? Chris,

My wife and I have just returned from Tromso after a few days of successful aurora hunting. I also managed to capture a few images of my own. We also met Kjetil Skogli on the banks of a very chill fjord at midnight. The aurora was an unforgettable experience which we hope to repeat some time.
