night outside the Edmonton city limits. Warm, low wind,
and clear!

Looked at the
sky near midnight and seen narrow fingers of light across
the zenith which soon grew in intensity to a great show!

The auroras
were dim, but with a long enough exposure, they recorded
nicely. Temp was a -10f and breezy. There were two shows
going on at the same time, one to the north and one to the
south! green to the north and redish to the south.

The
glow to the north caught my eye while playing hockey on
a backyard rink, bright enough to be visible from within
the city and with floodlights beaming down on the ice. I
then drove to the outskirts of town just in time to catch
a bright substorm with lots of movement and detail.

A
nice auroral display, although almost entirely within 25
degrees of the northern horizon. The display was seen for
more than 3 hours.

These
auroras were incredibly active - flickering and dancing
across the sky and really did look like a river or a ribbon
being blown across the sky from one horizon to the other.

Just after dinner on march 8, we were surprised by more or less unexpected auroras around 19:30 local time in Straumnes, Lofoten, Norway. I'm there with other members of Philippus Lansbergen Observatory from Middelburg, The Netherlands. We travelles all the way up north to the polar light center in order to watch somee aurora. We were lucky this week: we've seen some very nice and bright aurora.

Nice
dancing display although the cloud cover was not ideal,
combined with extreme light pollution due to the flare at
Jeoffre Petrochemical Plant.
