Great shots, Darren. We had a great light show here last night as
thunderstorms and (maybe) a tornado passed through - nothing as cool as
what you saw!

Got a Red Alert from the UK early yesterday afternoon, meaning auroras
were active. Problem for me was, the auroras would need still need to
be active when it got dark, and preferably near midnight to 1 AM when
the central bulge would be pointing at me (opposite the sun). The
aurora forecast looked promising though and so I kept a close eye on
it. When Facebookers started reporting aurora as far south as
Pennsylvannia and northern Iowa around 10:30 PM I headed out. It was
good (for Nebraska) and then at 12:15 AM it briefly got GREAT. Could
not believe it when it exceeded the FOV of my 30mm.
