    I hope I wasn't the only person from the club that observed the beautiful Aurora last night. It was quite spectacular for southern Minnesota. I noticed the sky starting to light up at about 8:15 with red streams shooting from the north west and the north east moving to an area straight above me with a bright green semi halo that slowly changed to a single cloud that moved to the western horizon. Streams of light moved from between the red steams and culminated in swirls straight above. This heavy activity lasted about a half hour, then slowly dissipating until gone by 9:20. I watched all this from my deck.
    I've not seen a show like that one in a very, very, very long time.

    Happy Trails
