Aurora outbreak! Before full dark, 8:10 EDT (00:10 UT) these aurora were visible, bright and sometimes Beet-Red in color. All auroras were red with the spikes or spears with the exception of a single bright yellow-greenish aurora sitting above the other red rays, which lasted onl a few minutes.

Unfortunately, I had the camera set to Black and White.

The picture titled "Strange Blotches" has strange round blotches in the aurora.
