Well
Worth the Wait!! It's been 5 years since I last saw the
Northern Lights in my neck of the woods. And what a show
it was! I watched the lights from 11pm CST - 2am CST Even
witnessed the ISS pass thru my frames three times. Once
at 11:08 and again at 12:13 if I recall correctly. |

Nature
gave us a subtle treat tonight. A red aurora just visible
to the eye and easily visible to the camera (Nikon
D300). Excellent treat given our latitude (45.67 N).

Best
activity was over quickly, maybe in couple of minutes, but
these were by far the best auroras I have seen since December
2006! What a nice feeling!

On
Sunday, May 2, from here in southern Alberta, the aurora
never got very bright and structured, just an auroral arc
with faint rays reaching up the northern sky. But the camera
picked up some nice mauve colours in the streamers. Still,
after a long drought with little auroral activity it's a
pleasant change to see some northern lights again. |

Those
were the best, long-waited auroras for me since 2004.
