Re: [APML] AURORA?

["Chris & Jennifer Cook" <ccjd@ix.netcom.com>]

Hi Jim -
Yes.  I'm in MA and there was a fairly good aurora last night.  Some faint
green below Polaris around 8pm, it then subsided until around 11:30pm when
it really started up.  The whole northern sky was full of what looked like a
faint green haze.  Around 1:30am, some pillars formed for about 20 minutes.
This display was not as intense as the one back on Sep 7/8, I didn't see any
strong colors, but still a nice display.
Should have some of the film back by tonight.

Chris
