Creator's Key Takeaways
we were actually chasing the northern lights for seven days around Finland and we did not see them a single time whereas this trip we've now seen them 11 out of 16 days
we highly recommend downloading that app the other app that we would recommend is called space weather live
we wouldn't recommend using a flash one taking pictures of them cuz it's going to be a long exposure but that is a simple little hack to capture on your camera
the equinox effect basically gives you a higher chance of seeing the Aurora
