    Structure Forms

    Suddenly some structure started forming in the otherwise diffuse band. These microstructures seemed to just sail by like waves (only not really rolling I guess) to off over the horizon.

    Then northern sky just erupted behind those smaller structures in the band. This was the best early morning aurora I've ever seen!

    Auroral Corona

    Not a minute after that eruption on the horizon this auroral corona danced overhead and seemed to last for a really long time. Usually only appearing for a few seconds, I think I had about a minute of shooting this one. In the center you might be able to make out the big dipper, but the stars were pretty dim compared to the northern lights that night!
