Great 360º display of the Aurora here in Minnesota tonight.

All photos were done with a CP4500. Unfortunatly I was in a southern suburb of Minneapolis and heavy air traffic ruined most of the early shots untill I returned to my rural home.

This first shot was taken about 6:05 central time 14.5 sec at iso 100

Bob,

Great images of the aurora borealis visible up in your neck of the woods. Here in South Florida we do not get many aurora!
