    Yes sir, pretty cool. The northern lights are great to see in the winter here, reflecting off the snow

    We were out in the yard earlier this evening…. We could see color in the sky, but nothing like the above pic. Very cool

    North Dakota checking in here.

    We get them constantly here but they were hyping the best since 2003 so we paid attention.

    We went out back around 930, just after dark for us now and saw some good stuff. My wife called a local photographer that wanted to take some night tractor pics last year suggesting she does it with the northern lights in the background.

    It's too wet here to do anything so I took my tractor and corn planter out behind the house and folded it it so she could grab some pics.

    The photographer spent about 2 hours doing her thing. I was wondering how things were going as she was doing everything in pitch blackness.

    She showed me the pics on her camera and they are crazy. It was pitch black except the northern lights but my tractor and planter look like daylight with northern lights in background. I'll post when she sends them.

    I seen them once back in 73 or 74. They were sort of a green blue color I remember. Will go out tonight hoping to see them. That’s a great picture.

    Got up at 4 this morning and went out to maybe see some Aroma Boringhalitosis. Nuttin' but stars.

    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    Pretty cool picture a friend sent me of Mackinac.

    track the light in top center in the pictures, that the ISS International Space Station.

    Not sure why but after it completed its passover @ 22:37 hrs, the lights toned the show down considerably, coincidence or ?,
