Chasing Aurora & Milkyway in Autumn | Southern Lights | One Photo with the Stars

** Please note that this event is not open for photographers (no option to bring Camera/GoPro or tripod). We will be taking photos of people with the Stars. With any Aurora Hunting events, the chance of spotting an Aurora is less than 5% as there are many factors involved. Please carry a warm jacket as it is expected to be very cold. This trip involves a shared uber/taxi besides train. The cost details can be found in the description below. There is an active coronal hole at the moment. This increases the chances of an Aurora display. **
