Dean and all -
I just started processing some of my GCSP pics and believe I've also captured
some of the airglow phenomenon you photographed.
I was camped in the Nat'l Forest just south of Tusayan on Sunday night and took
a series of pics to the north, believing I might be witnessing a faint auroral
display (I was prompted by reports earlier in the week mentioning auroral
activity noted from Utah).
I made a two-frame and ten-frame set of gifs from my 60D exposures and,
although gravity waves are only hinted at, seem to strengthen the case for
airglow rather than aurora.
I've posted the gifs here (apologizing for variation in exposure
frame-to-frame):
