Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis, spectacular real time video

A few days prior to Valentine's day,multiple CME's were ejected from the sun on a direct collision course with the Earth. They struck around lunch Sat Feb 15th. We flew to Iceland as we had seen on Space weather.com they would arrive and most likely trigger a geo magnetic storm that weekend. This is a small snapshot of what we saw staring about 2300 hrs that night.
During a display of aurora many different patterns can occur, but according to NASA the most spectacular is the corona, it is this event you see here.
Most "videos" of the northern lights are shot with time lapse stills. Not here, we shot real time video with Sony new full frame camera: the Sony Alpha 7 with Voigltlnader f 1.4 lens.
