A night of magical aurora.

A huge CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) solar flare brought us some of the most colorful aurora we’ve seen in years. Some nights the auroral displays last for minutes, others, like tonight, only last for seconds and then fade and change to something new. Crazy, vivid colors tonight, some barely visible to the naked eye. The camera definitely picked up the rare orange aurora much better than I could see it live. Click on the images for full-screen.
