That sounds pretty neat Steve. I was to Maine when I was a kid. I still
think it would be a neat place to live because of the isolation.
If you do any astrophotography, I'd like to see it.
I've just started dabbling in it again for the first time
Thanks Robert. That was interesting.
I find it interesting that a spacecraft captured this on film. I didn't
know they had film cameras on unmanned spacecraft. Maybe they beam the
digital image down and then project it on to film? Maybe it's not on film.

Anyhow, doggone it, there was no chance to see the aurora. Now, over the
next two days when there's a possibility, we're in for clouds, rain and
maybe snow. If a hole would open up and I could just get it snowing with
