Nice burst of
aurora activity right after dusk. I haven't seen the aurora
in almost two years, it was a beautiful sight. Foreground
thawing snowbanks, not the most scenic but I had to act
quick to catch the aurora. |

This was near
the midnight hour March 26th. One view is looking south
towards Fairbanks, with the city light spilling up to the
overhead clouds, and Orion standing near the center of the
shot. That is not a sunset glow. The other view of the green
aurora is facing magnetic north. Angle of view, about 150
degrees horizontal, 36 degrees vertical.

great aurora, nice weather, owls calling, Mt. McKinley and the Alaska Range backlit by the sunset! Life is good.

A
nice unique auroral display. For much of the display, there
was a whitish looking band streaming across the sky from
E to W, and I could see a hint of red fringing, and as usual,
the camera could "see" it better. It flowed much more like
a cloud then typical "rippleing/banding aurora, and off
and on odd shaped patches of green would appear. I've never
seen a display quite like it before. |

Finally
some weather fit for nighttime photography! A couple of
very powerful and fast moving displays and then it went
quiet an hour before midnight.

Very
nice auroras! They came as advertised on Spaceweather. Best
display of the year (from this location). The entire northern
sky was at times green. Various arcs and waves danced across
the sky. Here are a few images.

March 27, 2008:
"Over dinner a friend outside Roseburg, Oregon, called to
alert me to the auroras she was seeing," reports Casey Burns.
"I am down here in Coos Bay with a friend from the California
Academy of Sciences doing fieldwork for our paleo research and
we headed down to Cape Arago to get a dark sky. Sure enough, we
could see them easily, even through the overcast. Spikey shapes
that moved slowly, typical for western OR and Washington. It was
poignant as my friend is from Toronto originally, now living in
the San Francisco Bay area and he rarely gets to see these, except
when up there visiting family."
