| Summary: On July 24th, a weak coronal mass ejection from giant sunspot 652 buffeted Earth's magnetic field. The CME itself didn't trigger a strong geomagnetic storm, but the high-speed solar wind in the CME's wake did. The storm was fueled by a south-pointing interplanetary magnetic field.

I'd read on spaceweather.com that there was a chance for northern lights, so I went 10 minutes north of town and parked with some friends. The lights were tame unitl midnight - then they went crazy, dancing across the entrie sky, all the way south. We drank beer, took pics, and enjoyed the show that went strong for 2 hours. Canon 10D, 800 ISO, 10s exp, f4.0, off-camera flash |

I treated my daughters to their very first northern lights show last nite, they were quite pleased. It was fun to watch the display and listen to them 'wow' repeatedly. Photos taken with Canon Digital Rebel. |

Taken with a Canon 10D @ ISO 800, f4.5 and 30 second exposures. The structures were changing so fast, you could become dizzy quite easily. |

Beautiful display! Visual green, red and occasional violet were seen, with lots of wave like pulsations shooting up past the zenith. Nikon CP4300, 400 ISO, 15-30 seconds. Nice to see the Lights again. |

Look closely and you'll see the Big Dipper. This was around 3:00 am when the Dipper was near the horizon. This photo was taken with a Canon 10D, F4.5, 100 ISO, 30 seconds, 28mm. |

Huge display starting at dusk, lasted all night. Definately a storm, as it was flashing overhead from north to south. 20mm lens, 25 sec., Canon 10D. |
