Yes, single exposure. I got the full advantage of full moon and it was the climax moment of the night so they were super bright.

I would love to see this in real life one day. Was the location you captured the pic accessible by car?

The location of the photo is right next to the road.

Speaking of Norway, If the location is at sea level then it's easy to access by car or on foot. For higher ground it needs a bit more preparation and caution.

Wow thats a really splendid capture!
Would love to go there some day too. We rarely have any traces of the Aurora in NZ and I have never managed to be in right place at the right time to capture one.

Thanks for sharing.
