Default Last night's aurora

In the clear, dark, Montana sky last night (January 11/12) was a
vivid, relatively bright, green auroral glow. The aurora was visible
as a long, broad, low dome along the northern horizon with its high
point in the direction of magnetic north. Comet Machholz was near the
zenith well above the aurora glow and easily visible to the naked eye
as a little, fuzzy spot.
