My astrophotography rig at the observing site. You can see just how light it was even past midnight from the glow on the horizon to the North.

The same image as above, after running BlurXterminator. Stars are noticeably tighter and rounder and far more detail in the nebulosity is apparent.

Looking up into the aurora. I love how (despite the noise and poor focus) you can clearly see individual rays of light in this image.

A single sub exposure from my session. An auto stretch has been applied to make the targets more visible.
