We didn’t see much until I took pictures of what we did see with my phone. It just looked like white/greenish streaks with the naked eye.

Had a really good display here, it covered entire night sky to 45 degree south.

Without a camera to could make out difference color bands, but through the IPhone it really shown it’s colors.

Notice how rays come to a single point south of my location, they were dancing from northern horizon and all came to this point in sky


Big Dipper and northern star.

As for activity it’s still going on strong.

All’s quiet so far. I’ll be keeping an eye out. It was nice seeing the lights without having to be freezing cold in Alaska. lol

Looks like another one coming tonight/tomorrow. Remember to use the night feature on your camera. The sun is rowdy this year.

Forecast showing Kp8 my time until 10 PM…sadly clouds will start moving in at sunset. So will see.

Looking good so far! Hoping for a little more variation in the colors as the night goes on.

No go here…unless I head over the hump.
