WOWOWOWOW! Incredible! Best northern lights I've seen since 2004! Northern Lights in every direction, photographed most of the time facing south! Beautiful coronas, many reds!

Nikon D700 24 mm, 2.8, 3s, ISO 2000

Unbelievable! Thank you Spaceweather! I just happened to click on your site and saw the alert... I ran out and put my camera out and immediately saw reddish aurora. I ran out into the field and within a few minutes the Aurora went crazy! .... and this from near Ozark, ARKANSAS!!!! Canon T1i

On 10-24-2011 the forecast was for storm level Aurora displays. My son and I went out that night west of Madison, WI to shoot some timelapse and take stills of them. At one point they were so bright they lit up the ground, it will be hard to edit the timelapse because they were almost over exposed at that point. Many more pics on my site. http://dakotalapse.com/?p=581

These are the strongest and most beautiful auroras I've ever seen. I can only imagine what the display must have been further north. Considering these images are taken at 'only' 62nd lat N. Here are a few vistas taken from 00.41 - 01.34 local time on August 25, 2011. (more images will be placed on my www - site later today.) Photo details: Canon 500D, 15 mm fisheye lens, tripod.

My wife and I had just jumped into the hot tub and noticed the sky get significantly brighter. I knew it was something special so I jumped out grabbed my camera and took a few pictures. Canon EOS 7D, ISO 6400 3 to 8 sec exposures.

Brightest Auroras I ever seen. CME tonight

I got my Spaceweather alert when the K Index hit 5. Initially, the aurora was visible as a a green band from 8pm until 9. then it flared red with vertex moving from the north until it was right overhead between 9 and 9:45 EDT. With my friend Tony we drove into the country hoping to find some aurora away from city lights. What we found blew us away, it was a once in a lifetime experience, and was by far my best aurora experience ever. The colour variations were incredible, there were reds that were deep and crimson, there was orange, even peach tint, as well as beautiful greens. The most amazing aurora of my life! Thanks for Spaceweather phone!!

Magic colors struck earth tonight! I had an amazing photo trip this evening/night. After weeks with poor weather conditions, I didn't have much hope for clear sky tonight, either. But just before midnight it started to clear up. And what a display I withnessed! I've never seen red and purple Auroras with the naked eye before tonight. In some of the photos I even got red reflections in the sea. Canon EOS 7D, with Tokina 11-16 mm f/2.8 ISO 800-1250, 2,5 - 15 seconds exposure

Tonight the sky was filled by some of the most spectacular polar lights that I have ever seen. During most of the evening some amazing blood-red auroras could be seen towards the southern horizon as the strong CME hit the atmosphere. Time after time the sky was filled by the most amazing patterns and coronas in green, purple and red, but most noticable was the dominance of very deep red auroras - a much deeper red then I have ever seen before!
