| Summary: September marks the beginning of aurora season in the northern hemisphere. In early September 2004, auroras were sparked by solar wind streams from coronal holes on the sun. Then, on Sept. 13th, a coronal mass ejection (movie) struck Earth's magnetic field and started a days-long episode of intermittent high-latitude auroras. The month ended with a few episodes of high-latitude auroras caused by little solar wind gusts. [See also the August 2004 aurora gallery.] Page 1 | This is Page 2 Got

The aurora forecast was good so I went out to take some images while the sky was clear. The activity started at 21:00 GMT (22:00 local time) and lasted for about two hours. Photo details: Canon 1D MarkII, 17-40mm f/4.0, iso set at 640 and 800, 30 seconds exp. |

There was a great sub storm that happened as we were here at the mine shaft taking photos. It was great and lit up the sky all around us! |

Canon 300D for 40 secs@F3.5. Some nice aurora before clouds came out and killed the night. |

Auroras were visible all night long as a glow to the north, but the activity peaked around 7:00 UTC, when some nice wavelike movement was visible. I was also fortunate enough to spot four meteors and a satellite on this night, but unfortunately, none of them were in view of the camera. Taken with a Canon PowerShot A60, 15 seconds at f2.8, ISO400. |

These auroras were relatively weak; they seemed like green fog. Nevertheless, these were the first auroras I've seen this autumn. Canon 300D 18mm/F3.5, 30s, ISO 1600 |

This display was short lived. It became highly visible around 11:00 pm local time. Although the display lasted over 2 hours most of the time it was rather dim with not much visible movement. These shots were taken during to short periods of visible activity. Nikon D100 with 50mm lens ISO 500 |
