January 15, 2022 Auroras
Chippewa National Forest
A high speed stream of solar wind and a bit southward Bz brought auroras to northern Minnesota. The moon was pretty full, but I went out to shoot what I could see. I headed up to Joyce Estates ski trail in the Chippewa National Forest and skied to a spot I had chosen on a small lake near the trail. The lights were washed out quite a bit by the moon, and soon enough, Bz went north, shutting the auroras off.
