| 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.

The rain ended and the clouds began breaking just before midnight and, though the aurora appeared to the eye only as a dim grayish haze, it showed up photographically as red. Canon 10D with 24mm f/1.4L lens; ISO 400, f/1.4, 30 seconds. |

Taken with a Nikon D70 - 800 ISO - 15 to 30 second exposures - 2.8 20mm. The duration of the event allowed me to move to several locations. While not the best I have seen... still a good show for Oklahoma. |

Upon hearing about the Auroras around 11:30PM from a friend, I flew out of my apartment to find a nice, dark place, only to discover I was without a tripod. So I ended up using my car as a camera base. Here are some of the results. Camera is a Sony F717, photos were taken at various shutter lengths with around F2.2, ISO100-800 |
