This was the best show I have ever seen and I got to see the one in November of 2004. I never thought I'd see anything that cool again. Little did I know it would happen that soon after. These are all shot with a canon digital rebel, 17-40L, at ISO 400 with exposures 10-25 seconds and F4 in most cases. |

Our robotic Aurora Cam strikes paydirt again! We set the system up at bedtime, with the Kp still under 5, and at 2am the aurora maxed out - all of it captured on film with our Aurora Cam. What a surprise we had when the film was developed the next day! |

I am still amazed at how bright they were around 8:00 UT time. The entire sky was covered in red and blue. Photo detail: Nikon D70 at ISO 500, Sigma 20mm lens at f/1.8, 10/20 sec exposures. |

One of the most amazing displays of aurora we have ever seen in Missouri. Streamers and spikes of many colors, dancing green curtains. At one point the aurora extended well past the zenith to the south. Photo details: Nikon D-100 camera and a 16mm and 8mm lens. 30 sec. exposures at f4. |

Photos were taken with a Sony MVC-CD400 digital on 8 second exposures. The area of activity in the north became visible when clouds cleared about 1:00 am Central. By 2:00 am activity was in an arc from east to west, and directly overhead. By 3:00 am it was visible in an arc ranging from the southeast, thru south, to the southwest. It became cloudy again shortly after 3:00 am making any further viewing impossible (drats). |
