May. 1, 2010 | #1, #2, #3, #4 | Well Worth the Wait!! It's been 5 years since I last saw the Northern Lights in my neck of the woods. And what a show it was! I watched the lights from 11pm CST - 2am CST Even witnessed the ISS pass thru my frames three times. Once at 11:08 and again at 12:13 if I recall correctly. |

May. 3, 2010 | #1, #2, #3, #4, more | Best activity was over quickly, maybe in couple of minutes, but these were by far the best auroras I have seen since December 2006! What a nice feeling!

May. 2, 2010 | #1, #2, #3, #4 | On Sunday, May 2, from here in southern Alberta, the aurora never got very bright and structured, just an auroral arc with faint rays reaching up the northern sky. But the camera picked up some nice mauve colours in the streamers. Still, after a long drought with little auroral activity it's a pleasant change to see some northern lights again. |
