Shortly after
sunset, the auroras were out in full glory. An excellent,
but brief display that was the earliest in the evening I
can ever remember... The parially frozen lake was a nice
bonus...

Clouds were moving in while the crimson aurora glowed above the northern horizon on December 14, 2006 at 11:32pm (local time).

December
14/15 will go down in Spaceweather history as one of the
best days for Aurora photogaphers. Lucky ME I had 98% cloud
cover with 20 mph winds. I must have done SOMETHING right
in my previous life. I captured these at 2am CST on the
15th with my Canon
30D SIGMA f2.8 17mm at ISO 1600 for 6 seconds. I am
glad not everyone had cloud cover, and to those of you that
did like I did.....I feel your pain!!

Auroras are
usually not visible in my area of Pennsylvania, so whenever
they appear - I sit out with my camera. As I was snapping
pictures, I had a couple of meteorites from the Geminid
show streak through my pictures, along with the regular
airplane. The white glow is light pollution from a strip
mine 12 miles away.

The color shifted
from prominent green to red/green and alternated between
bands across the sky to pulsating pillars as I watched.
Absolutely stunning!

Images where
taken right after sunset on Dec 14th. I was watching the
aurora alerts all afternoon on spaceweather.com and was
very excited about them happening that night. I noticed
the sky starting to glow while driving home from work. A
huge arc formed around the north with columns moving up
from the top of the arc. At times small clouds formed to
the east and west. One of the clouds was so bright that
it blocked out M45! Could easily see the reds and greens.

We are hosting
a foreign exchange student from Germany who has never seen
auroras before, so I got a picture of her with the northern
lights in the background.
