Love the combination of clouds and aurora that you captured - agree with Paul Glover that your photographs stand out from the many others I have seen. I appreciate you pointing out the difference between viewing them with the naked eye and with the camera, I had presumed everyone was enjoying these saturated colored skies! Love that the camera can be a tool to see if the aurora is even happening to begin with - fascinating.

I honestly really like the mix of clouds and aurorae you ended up with. They're a little different to the other eleventy billion images I've seen over the last few days! "Midnight" is stunning, actually.

Wasn't able to get out to have a look Friday evening, unfortunately. I did take a quick look out a few times but our view to the north is, well... it's a 400-foot rise in elevation over about 500 feet of distance (we're at 2600 feet elevation on the south slope of a 2900 foot "mountain" with another 100 feet of trees all over it; north is something which happens to other people!)

Saturday night I did drive up to a nearby overlook, but was probably a couple of hours too late. I took a photo anyway, because why not.
