Thanks, Don!

Nice shot John. Nicely exposed with the city in the foreground.

Great shot Ann well done

Nicely done Ann & Bill.

Wonderful! Even if it didn't show up visually through the light pollution of the city, it certainly shows nicely in your photo, even sporting a clearly visible tail! Well done!

I had a great time at cosmology. Looking forward to astrophotography! (I have a lot to learn!)

Heard about this while at Black Forest Star Party. I tried to spot it one it night in my scope and thru a larger scope another night without luck. Later found out that no scar appeared this time - probably accounts for why we didn't see anything.

Good report Matthew. Thanks for posting.

Cool!

Nice image Mike and Therese.

Great images Ann and thanks for posting. It was a lot of fun and we had a great turn out. We've been lucky that the weather has cooperated for us each time we've gone to this location and get good crowds. Nice bonus with the lights being off for Earth Hour.

I have to echo Matthew and Don. Amazing image! Well done!

Well done Ann!

Nice going Ann!

Update: October 25/11

Keith Mann and his family were at our alternate observing site (Tyneside Road)last night. Here are their observations of the aurora:

Date: 24 Oct 2011
Time: Approx. 2130-2300
Location: HAA Binbrook Site 2 (Tyneside Road) 43.114755, -79.879906

Weather: Clear
Temp: Approx 8C dropping
Humidity:
Moon: None
Darkness: Good, light pollution to north
Seeing: V. Good (4/5)

Observation #: 1
Time: Approx. 2130
Object: Aurora Borealis
Instrument: None
Position: Entire northern sky

First visible as we drove to site. Shimmering curtain-like aurora
visible across entire northern sky, especially western half, above
light-pollution to at least 60 degrees declination. Colour lightening
from bright green (lower) through white (higher). Visible for about 15
minutes. Suzanne's notes:

"Late in the evening, between 9:00 and 10:00, Keith and I drove along
Tyneside Road. I just happened to look up to my right and saw the most
amazing lights: like drapes – green on top and red on bottom – they
seemed to cover the sky no matter where I looked."

Awesome! So great so see aurora agin, Nicely done, Dave!

That's an excellent photos. It really captures the essence that Aurora's are green!

What a beautiful photo, Dave. I love the eerie reflection in the water.

Looks like another calendar photo to me. (hint, hint)
