OT: Aurora Borealis

We had an unusual visitor last night. The Aurora Borealis was visible in our northern sky.

Beautiful! My wife and I missed it ! We knew it would be visible. We read that the best viewing would be between 11 and 2:00 am. I was outside until 6:45 and didn't see it as I think it was too light out.

We drove up route 664, the road we took in TS. We went as far as Fin Fur and Feather and did not see any dancing lights.

99% of the time my colorblindness doesn't bother me, but last night was the exception. I can kinda see the pictures, but live, even in through the camera, nuffin.

The aurora was pretty vidid around here, we had a dark red sky early in the evening at my house. My pictures didn't come out well. But here are some photos that local folks sent in to the local newspaper.

Too bad this didn't occur last week during TS. It would have been very vivid with the darkness of Bald Eagle State Park.
