[AZ-Observing] Re: Aurora in Tucson

That's pretty much what the experience was like. It would be there in large
faint red patches and some areas or lanes reaching towards the south, and
then it would fade while you were looking around, making sure that was what
you were seeing. By then it wouldn't be there anymore. Very Cheshire.
