Spectacular! I've been enjoying various PESOs from people without having enough time and energy to respond to them, but this one is just outstanding... I read about the EM-storm, but couldn't do much about that: I am too far south to see this beauty. I believe it was only once in my life

Beautiful, Darren! I've only seen the aurora once, in about 1970 in New Hampshire--never since. There were rippling curtains of these colors, plus white, racing across the sky. Amazing. Cheers, Rick On Jun 23, 2015, at 9:21 AM, Darren Addy wrote: Got a Red Alert from the UK early yesterday
