Yosemite Valley last night.
Won't be at our Latitude tonight though.
Great lake states should have another show though.

That was probably a 30 second long exposure shot judging by the length of the light trails from the cars in the roadways, by the brightness of the aurora, by how fuzzy the waterfall looks, and because some of the stars have an ever-so-slight trailing effect. That aurora must have been extremely bright because this photography was able to get such a highly exposed photo despite all of the light pollution below. I wonder what time that photo was taken. It's possible that the photography increased the exposure of the aurora in post, which is pretty normal...but I've never seen an aurora this bright before. But we did just have a super rare and intense solar storm. I wonder how crazy it was at the poles.

We don't get the aurora in TN, but the red glow was very noticeable even with the light pollution around me, which is a lot compared to the country. Most of it was pretty faint.

I've not seen anyone alluding to the true cause of this event; chem-trails mixing with cow farts and climate change. More taxes and a few new government agencies should be able to fix it.
