[Wil Milan <wmilan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For those who missed it, see below for some photos of tonight's aurorae.

One of the great features was to be able to capture it juxtaposed with the 
conjunction of the moon and Jupiter. It was a fine show even as far down as 
Phoenix; it's not often one gets to photograph the northern lights with 
desert vegetation in the foreground :-). See:

I love the contrast of colors visible in the photos, the red of the aurora 
with the yellow of the clouds, etc. These colors were not very evident 
visually but really popped out in the photos.

Enjoy,
