I found these pictures on the digital-astro group. I'm almost tempted to drive up north. http://www.skyinsight.net/r/index.php?a=aurora Debbie

Bill,

Can you send me your pictures of the aurora? My skies are too cloudy to see anything. It doesn't look good for tonight but I will take a look this evening. How long were your exposures?

Thanks for the heads up Josephine. Got your email and went outside - cloudy. So checked on the web and it looked like the clouds would end at about the Idaho border. Loaded up the cameras and set out. Clouds started to break about Ogden and the aurora was visible from about Brigham north; but I thought it was more clouds so we kept going north. Stopped at a rest stop just north of the border where I finally figured out it wasn't clouds in the north but the aurora. Pulled over just north of Malad and we were treated to a great show. At the peak the aurora went from Cygnus in the northwest to Gemini in the northeast and up over Cas overhead. Reds and greens; ray and waves; quite a sight!! Spent about an hour up there taking watching the show and taking pictures; then clouds started moving in from the southeast and we came back home.

Thanks again

Bill B.

Hi friends, I just drove to Little Mountain and it was so cloudy that I don't know if I saw any auroras. There were unusual bands overhead where it was otherwise fairly cloudless and some bright places to the north and east. So I shot a roll of film on the basis that maybe my eyes weren't color sensitive enough at night after driving -- if there were any auroras I think they should show up on the film. Did anyone else see anything? thanks, Joe
