What longitude?

Shawn

38 deg 32'0N / 106 deg W


Poked my head out back at 8:30 MST. Green glow to the north. Drove a
mile north of town with my family & observing buddy Matt, to get clear
of the lights. A bright glow extended from NNE to NW from the horizon
to about 30 degrees. After about 10 minutes of dark adapting, we saw a
faint red glow near the upper extent of the display.
The green glow is still (10:30 MST) visible from my back yard.
Brightest aurora I've ever seen :-)
