Re: [APML] Aurora!!

["Jim Ives" <flyboy9990@earthlink.net>]

I was out Saturday working on a drift alignmnet when I saw the Northern
Lights. At 43deg N they stretched past due East and past Due west! They were
tward the South about 20degrees from due over my head! Couldn't believe it.
I was watching them traveling to the west in vertical streaks and it was
like vertical blinds closing one after the other. I never saw any quite like
this! They were out from 9pm to 2:30 AM!
    I snapped a bunch of photos with a 28mm. Keeping my fingers crossed!
