I followed the Eclipse of the Midnight Sun last night on the Astro Viten website.
Cameras were placed in three locations: Tromsø, on the Norway’s north coast; Bodø, on the northwestern coast; and Kirkenes, on the far northeastern coast (you can go to the website to see the last pictures taken at each of the three locations). The picture above was after the eclipse had passed at Kirkenes.
The next three pictures were taken at approximately 5:10 p. m. US EDT.
