Northern lights from Barrow? Berkeley? No, Borrego Springs in the heart of the Anza-Borrego Desert of Southern California! After completing an outdoor workshop in sky photography, I returned home to find a diffuse glow in the north and very obvious rays reaching up well above Polaris (33 degrees up). Photo details: Canon 10D, 400 ISO, 10s-20s with 24mm lens at f/1.4 |

A friend called me at 1:30 am to report bright dancing lights in the sky. I quickly got dressed and drove to a hill top not far from my home in Rapid City to take these pictures. Auroras seldom appear this far south and I haven't seen any this bright since last November's X-class storm. The aurora moved quickly, waving back and fourth in a curtain from the eastern horizon to the west over the Black Hills. Straight overhead it pulsed in bright white light changing shapes as the curtain crossed it's path. |

The evening began cloudy with a quiet green glow to the northeast. Around 2:00 am the breakup was fabulous! Photos taken with a Nikon D70 and 10.5 mm lens. |
