February 8, 2023 Auroras
Grand Rapids, Minnesota
Solar wind conditions became favorable for auroras, and the skies were, unbelievably, not completely overcast. The moon was bright, but I hoped for a substorm that might outshine the moonlight for a bit. I could barely see the auroras against the horizon brightening from the moonlight. Below are two contrast-enhanced photos.

The horizon is faintly green with barely perceptible columns of aurora. |

A dim oval developed for a few minutes before more clouds moved in. |
