Minnesota Auroras

I could see some glowing aurora from the house so drove to an open area and
BINGO! A bright curtain of white-green light stretched from the west to the
east. It was as high above the horizon as 80 degrees or so. As I watched an
arc develop from vertical lines that dropped in from above. Little color was
available to my eyes but my camera picked up brilliant green and some red.

Around 4 am there was wonderful color in the lights rather than our
usual green arc.

I noticed a distinct glowing green arc at about 45 degrees above the
horizon at 3:30 UTC 1/22/04. I watched from the house until about 11:30
for any changes but there was nothing but an ebb and flow of the green
glow. The wind chill in northern Minnesota was -45F. I was afraid to
prowl the countryside in the dangerous weather so I took pics from the
front door. I am really hoping for a mild spring with lots of solar
activity!! ;)

Finally, driving to work on Monday, Dec 22, it was still there. My
husband still couldn't see a thing. The red color was not visible to my
eyes.

Very near the horizon was a faint glowing arch. It could have been
mistaken for city lights reflecting off low clouds, but the skies were
clear and this is a rural/lakes area. More of my aurora photos are here:

Driving home in the early evening I watched a faint glowing arch in the
northern sky and guessed that it was an aurora. My eyes could not see
any color. My husband thought I was nuts - he couldn't see a thing. Once
home I set up my camera on the patio to see what it could pick up. Yup!
It was aurora so I set off again in the car to check it out.
