Park City Aurora - October 29th, 2003

 

The Northern Lights finally descended upon northern Utah this morning. The impact of our much awaited CME came about 11:30pm local time. We didn't start viewing again until about 1:30am. Who knows how many times the aurora spiked. We managed to catch one nice peak... with a gradual tailing off. Here's the results of our effort.
