September 1, 2022 Auroras
Prairie Lake
A period of southward Bz (maybe there were a couple minor CME impacts) and fast solar wind brought the auroras out. At first, I was planning on just snapping a photo or two and going home (I arrived to find almost no glow at all), but the display soon overproduced. I shot a quick timelapse and was back home before midnight.
