Aurora Gallery back to spaceweather.com |
|
| Summary: Solar activity intensified in early November with the appearance of big sunspot 696. The active region unleashed a series of strong M-class solar flares. On Nov. 7th, coronal mass ejections from some of those explosions hit Earth's magnetic field and triggered an extreme geomagnetic storm.

#1, #2, #3, #4, more | For several hours, the northern horizon shimmered red and green. The show got off to an early start. We started looking before it was even dark after receiving our Spaceweather Phone Call. More images can be found on the Utah Skies website. Images were taken using a Sony DSC-F717 digital camera. The shots were mostly 30 second exposures at ISO400 with the lens wide open at f/2.0 |

I happened to look at Spaceweather.com and saw the 'Aurora Alert'... When I went outside I was stunned by the amount of activity visible this far south... These shots were taken at around 7pm from my home on Storm Mountain in Drake, Colorado... Canon Digital Rebel, 800ASA, 15sec, f/4 Darrell Spangler November 7th, 2004 - 7pm |

Our home sits atop a 4400' ridge with views into Virginia, NC & TN. The entire northern sky was filled with the glow from East to West. This represented an extremely wide portion of the sky. Image on Nikon D100 24mm lens 60 second exposure ISO 200 |

Amazed at how bright they were at times considering the ambient light from living near a city. Also was able to see them come down the southern side of the sky. Nikon Coolpix 5700, 400 and 800 ISO equiv used, 8sec and 4sec exposures. |

After an intense hour-long display, they eventually died down, but then came back two hours later with a much greater intensity. I could actually see the changing patters in the sky, almost like a search light. Photo details: Olympus E-10 at ISO 320, ~30sec exposure (some less). |
