Title: Aurora Monday Night
Post by: RN1 on October 26, 2011, 12:22:47 pm
Hi
,
Did anyone see the  very unexpected KP 7 aurora, I checked the charts Sunday night and NOAA only had predicted a weak impact from a recent M-Class flare,
A wonderful display, my second this year and the best since this time in 2003, red and greens all over the norther sky, these are just a sample and the photos are raw, grainey and unprocessed, they look way better on my canon 400d camera LCD

Of course could not sleep so look out at 4am, KP still at 7
