| Summary: Earth encountered a solar wind stream on March 9th, and that sparked auroras for several days. The best displays were at high latitudes: Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia and some norther-tier US states like Wisconsin and Minnesota. Two more solar wind streams caused geomagnetic storms on March 12-13 and 18-19. See also the February 2004 aurora gallery. Go

#1, more | This is my first digital photograph of an aurora. I took this picture to investigate if the weak glow hugging the northern horizon was light pollution or the northern lights. The color scheme of the glow makes me believe it was the aurora. Photo details: Canon Digital Rebel, ISO setting of 1600, 28mm lens at f3.5, 25 second exposure. |

#1, #2, #3 | Very bright displays of aurora started somewhere around 10:30PM and continued at least till 1:30AM. Aurora occupied the whole sky and I was just looking around to see what would be the best to shoot. A great night of active and bright aurora. As always - Minolta Dimage7, ISO 400-800, f1/2.8, 3, 4 seconds or bulb exposures up to 10 seconds. |

#1, #2, #3 | First auroras appeared about 10PM (2000UT), but local fog successfully disabled any photographic activity. The pictures were taken two hours later, after midnight (2200UT), when the fog settled low at the frozen sea (it's still visible on the pictures). The auroras were strong for about 20 minutes, then they faded. Photo info: Fuji Superia 200, Canon EF lens 24/2.8, 10-20s exposures. |
