Northern Light in Southern Sauerland - Polarlicht
I was looking for Perseids and found the Northern lights in central Germany.
Looking northeast with the Plejades cluster in the lower right. Jupiter and Mars should be rising slowly, but may be invisible due to light pollution (Krombach). The stars above belong to the Milky Way galaxy.
Low clouds are illuminated by the villages to the north and north-east. The northern lights are blocked by these clouds.
I was probably a bit early for the Perseids (0:30), which showed up later in the night - but not with the frequency I had hoped for.
