Nice shot Brad! I haven’t seen the Northern Lights since I went to St John’s, Minnesota in 1980’s!

Here are mine from last night north of town. For me it was the brightest I've seen them to the naked eye around here. Lots of boxes were checked last night for the youngest; northern lights, flyover of the ISS to the northeast, and a couple of shooting stars.

Great shots everyone! I couldn’t see anything south of Bellevue. Went down south of buccaneer bay in Plattsmouth and still couldn’t see because of looking north into all the lights from Omaha.

Thanks! Seeing your shot got me out there that night.

I realized I shot all mine in low resolution on my phone. I wish it was high res.

Thanks, Brad! You had some great ones as well.

Can't see the shots on your phone? That's odd. Maybe GoDaddy is/was having probs. I'll look at it when I get home tonight. Thanks for the heads up.

It's been a minute since my last post. Nice to see you all (virtually) again. I'm super excited I got the opportunity to go out and photograph the northern lights. New camera, so had to learn a few things. I'm happy with the results though.
