Re: [APML] Arizona Aurora with the new All Sky Camera



Neat shot Chris!  I bet the lack of a dust tail is because it is getting farther from the Sun.  Back in early March, it did not have a dust tail, only a ion tail as we see in your image.

Subject: [APML] Arizona Aurora with the new All Sky Camera

Hi All,
 
Last night was sure an exciting night.  While shooting the comet with the schmidt, we also were exposing the new all sky camera just in case the Kp value would get high enough to give us some aurora.  We didnt see anything, (Ok, I thought I imagined it once)  and when developing the film this morning, we hit paydirt - photographic Aurora.  Here is the first images of the Aurora last night with the All sky:
 
 
If anyone wants to build such an instrument, Id be glad to help!
