Nice. I've only seen them three or four times when they were truly amazing, dancing around and moving directionally. I looked out on the 27th up at the land and didn't see much. I usually go to be way too early!

My first few trips were around when Mount St. Helens blew. So I'm hoping for a another nice sunset POD coming from PK soon.

Old Salt wrote on Sep 22^nd, 2020 at 4:17pm: That’s a cool map, db. Very informative. One of the best ways to see the northern lights is to drink lots of tea, or something else, before bedtime. I have tried that many times, and still I am 75 years old and have NEVER seen the northern lights. Sigh. We did have a pretty nice sunset one of the nights we were up on the Gunflint recently.

Here's another of my all time NL favorites mostly because my wife was there. She still swears she saw colors that night and in her defense, she sees color much better than I do.

It may have taken, idk, maybe 15-30 minutes to make that spiral captured in one frame. It's a slice of time. It never actually looked like that in real life. It was cool watching it move and creating that spiral though.

The other I posted was maybe a minute exposure and it was that red and it was awesome.

Those UFO saucers often have colored running lights! Wink

50 years ago I was a Rotary International exchange student and spent the year in a small town in Sweden about 30 km from artic circle. Full sky northern lights almost every night for months. Amazing. Only have seen anything like it since twice - once on Disappointment Lake and once in finger lakes in NYS.
