Our club was out in force in a very dark site - the aurora was VERY
powerful. For a long time it was just this bright greenish arc across the
northern horizon - maybe 15 degrees up. Then a very bright pillar came out
of the Northwest and shortly thereafter we got quite a show in the north and
northeast. Lots of detail and pulsation.

I shot a lot of Supra400 with a 50mm Nikkor at various times and f-stops.
>From 30 seconds wide open (probably dumb) to about an hour at f5.6 to get
some star trails.

We had a member of the club taking video of it with an analog recorder and
it was totally out of this world! Amazing detail and the pulses and
streamers were beautifully recorded. Has APOD written all over it.
