You had me going about the gravity waves Sam.  Then I realised they were atmospheric gravity waves.   ;D  I love the photo of the circumpolar stars but just to show that an amateur can do even better, have a look at THIS PHOTO (top left and 3rd one over) taken by our good friend Dave Eagle.  He's even captured the spectral colours of the stars!   8-)
