May 6, 2024 Auroras

Grand Rapids, MN

Not a dramatic display by any means! Bz had been south to -10 nT during the day, but it went north around sunset. I thought I would go out and try to capture the end of the event. Indeed, this was only a remnant auroral glow on the northern horizon. Any significant display had ended by the time it got dark enough.
