Thanks for the comments! I send it to KSL. I'm not sure how well it would transfer to television, and it's been my experience that they usually butcher astrophotos in the converting/resizing process, but I sent it for consideration anyway.

I set an alarm for 1:30am and drove North of town in time to catch a photo of the ISS passing though the Northern Lights - http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaredsmith/8980209516/
They weren't very bright, but definitely there. And they quickly faded just as soon as I had snapped a few photos of them. I took a few more photos (click the right arrow in Flickr) and caught another very bright pass of ISS a bit later.

Coming back from Bryce this morning I received a CalSky alert putting the possibility of an aurora at a 7 on a 0 to 9 scale. I was a bit north of Fillmore at the time and I could see a glow to the north but I'm pretty sure it was just the usual light pollution from the SL Valley.
Ah, but I did get one small treat, as I was approaching Provo I saw ISS moving stately across the sky.
I got home about three and after opening the observatory I took a few minutes to concentrate on the northern sky. Alas, no aurora.
Did anyone here see the aurora?

Conditions are prime for aurora tonight - no moon, relatively clear skies, and the solar storms are raging. The OVATION forecast currently shows visibility well South of the Canada border - http://helios.swpc.noaa.gov/ovation/
I'm setting an alarm - I missed the show last week.
And I just noticed a nice ISS pass to the North just before 2am. I'm sensing a sweet photo op.
