Your skies were definately cleaner than ours. We also observed a dimmer arc
paralleling the brighter one to the east for a short time. No idea what that
was. .. cool though. Glad you got to see it all and the smoke didn't interfere.
Look forward to seeing all the pics.

Attached are a few pictures from the aurora last night. I first observe them
starting due North when I arrived about 12:55 a.m. . The northern Auroras
faided and then an aurora spike starter at about 1:15 to the west northwest
which eventually grew into a great whitish relatively narrow auroral arc that
went from horizon horizon crossing close to the zenith. It Made for a fantastic
night of you and despite some haze and smoke. Also thanks Dan for the views
from Hercules. By the way, that's Dan using the Hercules braketed by the
auroral arc and the milkyway.
