After a sunny, warm day, a beautifull night. Saw ISS at 21:49 UT at mag -1 and S. Between 22:00 and 22:30 UT there was some northern lights. Up to the height of Cassiopea the whole northwest to northeast sky was milky white, but the bright stars were still visible. Some white to light green beams were visible for a short time. 01- 44 A 03-05-30 00:21:10.67LB S, 3, RA=15:40 d=+26.5 Point between Alpha and Gamma Corona Borealis; 1/5 from Gamma 01- 44 A 03-05-30 00:23:04.88LB S, 3, RA=11:02 d=+63.6 1/5 from faint star just north of Alpha UMA 01- 56 F 03-05-29 22:12:00 LB 277.5 0.5 47 5.90 AA, 3->i Emerging from the northern lights I followed it almost all the pass.
