I've heard they've been out up there. It's been clear here for the past couple of nights and I've been watching for them but haven't seen them yet.

Extremely active last night...lasted until about half past midnight in the Fairbanks / Alaska Range area. Mainly greens and yellows that I saw, but some very nice curtains.

Psilocybin mushrooms will change that.

The Northern Lights were beautiful last night (I will post some later). I was at my hunting campsite on a ridge, so it felt as I could touch them. The only problem is that I had left my tripod at home, so my hunting partner and I used his ATV seat and handle bar to rest the camera and avoid too much shake

P.S. Here is one for now:
640 ISO
f/2.8 at 11mm
8-sec. exposure
Canon 40D
Photo sized to 850 pixels across

That's beautiful Ray. I gave it my first attempt last night. I had my ISO set too high (I think) so got a lot of noise. I reset it at 400. Now, just have to wait till they are out again to try it again.
