I have never seen such an amazing display of green lights in my life! The streamers and green curtains were soooo dynamic coming down from the auroral arc to the horizon and glowing brightly - really bright! There was a deep red glow near the horizon which came up and over the auroral arc with a green curtain of vertical spikes topped off with a deep red glow. The sight was fantastic. With the naked eye, I could see the colours very vivid !!! I was jumping up and down with excitement and the cops came along to enjoy the view too !!!
Below is a mosaic stitched together using Panorama Factory software showing the Auroral Arc stretching across the Northern sky. For all 80 photos I took on the night, check out the slideshow.
