Very nice! Great color. Last November 16(?)  I witnessed my first aurora
display on Long Island, NY. It was the most spectacular siight I have ever
witnessed. The sky was literally covered in lights for a couple of hours.
Shimmering, bright, red, curtain-like structures in the north. Huge pillars
of green in the east and west. Globs of blue-ish white from the zenith to
the southern horizon. I took 25 shots on Kodak Supra 400. But, for some
reason, my Minolta SRT-101 didn't advance! I shot it all on one frame!
