Those that know me, are aware I have not had the best of luck chasing aurora’s for the past 20 years or so. So many times I’ve been clouded out when the aurora is at its peek. So after an unsuccessful attempt up till 2am Sunday night, I went back to Chocorua Lake again last night.

After a long wait in the dark, watching the bats chase the mosquitoes on the lake, and listening to the owls, some decent color began to emerge around midnight or so. It then got real intense around 1am, and lasted a good hour. On my camera display, I could see I had finally attained an image worthy of my gallery wall. The varying colors, spires, and glow was constantly changing, and absolutely beautiful to witness.

The camera does pick up the strong colors and definition, that the human eye can not, but tonight it was even fairly visible to the naked eye.
