| Summary: A coronal mass ejection (CME) swept past Earth on Nov. 20th and sparked bright auroras as far south as Florida in the United States and Greece in Europe. The source of the CME was sunspot 484--one of the trio of active regions that caused intense geomagnetic storms last month. See, e.g., the October 2003 aurora gallery. Page

These are poor by the standards of some here but in Alabama we take what we can get. I was happy to have this once in a lifetime opportunity. My camera is a Canon A60. The exposure was 15 seconds, speed 400. 1900 local CST. |

My tripod was broken, so these are from sitting the camera on my fence and trying to hold it as still as possible for about a 30 second exposure. Seeing the Aurora in KY is rare, but seeing them overhead and to the south, east, and west is unheard of!!! They lasted for about 2 hours from ~730-930PM and even the movement was visible!!! |

I got off work at midnight, and saw the auroras just beginning to show up in the northern sky. By the time I got home, got my camera, and got to a dark place, the lights were magnificant! Photo details: Minolta X-370 camera, 50mm lens, 30 sec exposure. |

Finding a clear skies was a real pain on that evening, but time to time some stars and aurora were visible through the mist and clouds. Aurora was extremely diffuse and very faint when we saw it. |

The pictures with the prominent reds are looking to south. The red was not visible to the naked eye due to the light pollution from Interstate-29 3 miles to the south. Photo details: All are 30s exposures, Fujicolor Superia 800, with a 28mm wide-angle lens. |
