All-
I seemed to have caused more confusion that clarification by using "Aurora?" in
my blog post title. For those who read all my explanation, what I apparently
witnessed was a very bright airglow display. I reposted tonight with
additional links to an excellent website with some great images and
explanations of the phenomenon - same link as below... Happy Observing!

Hi All-
Just back from 5 days in Northern Arizona, mostly to attend the Grand Canyon
Star Party. On 2 of our 5 nights there I witnessed some of the strongest
airglow I've ever seen. Experienced observers next to me thought clouds were
moving in, but exposures showed the characteristic green glow of airglow
emission. Check out the blog for some pictures and a time-lapse on YouTube:

Comments welcome, particularly if you also witnessed the display.
