Magnificent! You weren't exaggerating in saying "it was spiritual." Oh, how I wish I could have experienced it in 3D at the moment the earth was presenting.

Very nice photography of something so grand, too.

A few from the big burst last night. Unfortunately, even these do not do it justice - it was truly spectacular:

Too bad you guys got clouded out in Fbks last night. As soon as I got off the plane back in ANC I rushed home and set up the camera. Even on the flight back down, all eyes were glued to the windows watching the show! I'm sure the view from up in Fairbanks would have been spectacular as well.

It's the same in here today. It has been snowing all day, and now very cloudy.

Nice photos guys, we caught the tail end of the 9pm burst in Palmer then it somewhat clouded over.
Tonight we have increasing clouds, its been snowing on and off all day so I don't hold out much hope of seeing anything.

Warpt it looks like you are on for tonight !

We had sun all day here but it's clouding up as the sunset. I'll be watching tho. I heard they were spectacular at 5:30am. I was sleeping.
