| Summary: On July 24th, a weak coronal mass ejection from giant sunspot 652 buffeted Earth's magnetic field. The CME itself didn't trigger a strong geomagnetic storm, but the high-speed solar wind in the CME's wake did. The storm was fueled by a south-pointing interplanetary magnetic field.

Saturday night's aurora made it as far south as Park City, Utah. We still had a handful of folks left at our monthly star party when the first display occurred. People pretty much stopped looking in the telescope and ooh'd and aw'd to the north. It was not an overwhelming kind of display, but... it was still pretty sweet! |

This image was taken in Wisconsin around 11:30 on Saturday night. I've always found fast-moving Aurora to be difficult to photograph, but everything went well this night. The Aurora was verty strong for most of the evening and was still present before I packed-up due to fog at 4:30 am local time. Best display all year... |

Taken with a Canon Eos Rebel 2000, 22-55mm lens ISO 200, 30 sec exposure. Only the green light was visible with the eyes, but the camera captured the purple. The aurora was not very bright most of the hour we watched it, but there was a lot of pulsating and flashing that was fantastic to watch. |

This was a great show for us! The auroras were only green but they were very violent stretching up over our heads. Notice the big dipper.(Sony Cybershot DSC-S85 8s exp. F/2 enhanced w/ Photoshop) |

I never remember seeing the Northern Lights in July in Anchorage before. We still have twilight all night so my picture was not as spectacular as others, but thought you might be interested |

The auroral display was very active and while the pink was not visible to the naked eye, that area seemed to be the most active as I recall. Photo details: Minolta SRT 102 camera, Kodak MAX 200, 15s exposure. |

The Aurora came out about 10:30, just as dusk was ending and was still visible when I headed home at 3 a.m. Unfortunately, they were almost colorless to the naked eye, however the camera revealed green and blue/purple. Taken with a Sony CDMavica, 8 sec, F2.1 |
