I almost didn't go out because of the fog, but I am glad I did. What an incredible sight! From 3:00 until twilight, the sky was alive with northern lights. I used a Nikon camera with ASA 400 film with an exposure of 20 seconds. The rays extended to zenith. Wow!

WOW!! What a display. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, spaceweather.com. This is the first Saturday in months since the weather's been descent here in Northern California. So, I'd already been out with my scope for a few hours as the moon set around midnight. I was ready to pack it in when I noticed the unusual glow at the northern horizon. Suddenly, I remembered reading spaceweather's alert for aurora so I took a 30 sec. photo and 'thar she was'. Ye-Haww! It began very mildly. By 1:00am, I could plainly see the greens, reds, and pinks. The display began to dissipate around 2:15am. Don't know how much longer it went on cause I had to hit the hay. Canon 20D 800ISO 25s exposures.

A little after 9:00UT, between patchy clouds, a slight glow was detectable to the Northwest. Using a long exposure revealed reddish/purple aurora activity. Canon 300 DSLR at a 20 second exposure, 200 ISO
