Tired of photos of the mid-latitude aurora on October 10-11? If so, avoid this thread because I finally got a full night's sleep and got my photos onto my computer so I'm sharing them along with my recollections (as an amateur photographer who's never shot space sky before) 1/18

The one with the grass silhouette is my favorite.

I was watching my aurora app (and everyone's excited chatter online) so I knew I had to get out right at sunset. I got bundled up, grabbed my cameras, and staked out my spot (two doors down in my neighbors' field). Beautiful clear skies for northeast Ohio (Medina area)! 2/18

This is the best time to see your photos, when I'm not scrolling thru everyone's!
