Tromsø for the Aurora Borealis in March
Is March too late for seeing the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) in Tromsø, Norway? There is a new moon on the 21st and I would be looking to go around then.
I'm aware it's weather and light dependent hence why I would go around the time of a new moon.

We stayed in Tromsø on december (2009) and we were really lucky according to what some locals tell us. As @froderik stated, they explained that the Aurora is common from december to march and rare rest of the year. We stayed 3 days the first week of december and took these photos that were "great for this epoch":
Not very spectacular, but good for early december :)
