Ok I can see where some might say this is OT, But I'll leave it to
Grumpy, Bob in Seattle and the Good Poster to decide. When I showed up they
were about the only others here.
As to the Picture, I for one can't get enough Aurora Images. I've only
seen one once, and it was limited to a Red Glow.

I saw some pretty good ones when back in RI in the 1980's but only have
seen a "hint" of one here in TX.

BTW, IMNSHO any pic of the sky ain't OT...

Nice shot! you even managed to get the constellations of Cassiopeia and
Perseus in the frame too

A great effort!

From Calgary Alberta at 51 degress north latitiude (same as London England).
Haven't seen one of these for a couple of years but now that the sun is
warming up again I hope to see more.

Well there they were...my last aurora pic (from the same location) has the
Big Dipper in the same place.
A great effort!

Thanks. I didn't notice them until around 4 AM when I stuck my head out the
door before going to bed-which I didn't do. Got a phone call from a friend
this morning asking if I'd seen them last night-at midnight. He was going
to call me to tell me to look outside but he decided that normal people
don't get calls that late.

Aurora ~is~ an atmospheric phenomenon, after all

I've only managed one decent photo in all my years. And that was nearly
17 years ago...

If you want to know the possibility of seeing an aurora at your location try
this :
www.swpc.noaa.gov/SWN/index.html
and check the "Magnetic Field Bz Component" graph-when the arrow goes
strongly negative it's time to look. Other graphs will tell you how far
south the aurora might get. Thanks to George N. in a.b.p.astro for this.
