The northern lights

I went out about 9pm and I saw a star. First one for days. So I went back to my cabin and got dressed for outside. There were definite gaps in the clouds.

So I stayed out. I saw Mars and Jupiter and pointed them out to a few brave souls who came out.

The sky gradually cleared and then we undocked and went out to sea. We soon saw them. A faint glow.
The blue is smoke from the funnel.
We all hung around but they didn't brighten and then we could no longer see stars. So gradually we all went in as it was midnight by now. Just in case I switched on the TV where they have an alerting system. I snuggled up in bed and then the TV announced northern lights visible. I threw back on all my clothes and sprinted up the 6 decks in time to see much more vivid displays. Colours were even visible.
This could be a STEVE
Lots of passengers happy. A few less so at breakfast to have missed it. Mission accomplished.

Trondheim

It's colder here as we dock. I put every layer on which works out to be toasty warm despite -8. I'm escorting another tour. WW2 stuff. The cathedral and a museum which due to escorting a mobility issue guest I got there a little late and didn't take any pictures. Then to a barracks with views over the city. The to a U-boat pen. Now to hit the captains cocktail party.

Journey's start

What's it all about? I got offered the chance by go stargazing to be the resident astronomer on board the Fred Olsen Christmas cruise in search of the northern lights. I get a free cruise, provided I give a few lectures and stand in the cold and dark showing the passengers the night skies.  I will be sailing on the Balmoral , which can host 1325 guests, and 551 crew.  We will sail from Southampton across the North Sea to Norway, and then continue up to the very North of Norway beyond the arctic circle. I leave on the 22nd December!
