| Summary: Summary: September marks the beginning of aurora season in the northern hemisphere. In early September 2004, auroras were sparked by solar wind streams from coronal holes on the sun. Then, on Sept. 13th, a coronal mass ejection (movie) struck Earth's magnetic field and started a days-long episode of intermittent high-latitude auroras. The month ended with a few episodes of high-latitude auroras caused by little solar wind gusts. [See also the August 2004 aurora gallery.] This is Page 1 | Page 2 Got

The Aurora forecast was good for Sept 13 so I waited for an hour before I captured this clearer image of auroras reflected in the water. There was a lot of light spanning the sky, but few distinct swirls until this one came up.Photographed with Canon digital rebel f3.5 ASA 400 exposed for close to 27 seconds. |

#1 | This was the second night in a row that I was able to observe a faint auroral glow on the northern horizon. It was visible to the naked eye despite moderate lunar interference and some localized fog patches. Taken with a Canon PowerShot A60, 15 seconds at f2.8, ISO400. |
