Spectacular Aurora in Connecticut
To all,
Taking a break from a spectacular Auroral display here in Northern CT. Full 360 deg. at one point, with pillars of blue and pink, veils of red, green glow near the horizon, arches culminating in a crown near Cygnus... Not much pulsation, but color everywhere... Looks like more to come as well... Jay S. |

I've never seen the Aurora quite like it before; it usually shimmers but tonight it appeared very static. It's 8pm now - I'm off for another look. |

Tim,
Agreed, not much "dancing", but we had pillars all culminating in one point for at least 270 deg. of sky at one point. Seems to have quieted for now. Time was approx. 7:00 P.M. EST. Will keep checking. Jay S. P.S. Great name for a town!!! Tim wrote: "Jay Sottolano" wrote in message ... To all, Taking a break from a spectacular Auroral display here in Northern CT.
