Tuesday auroral display: wow!

 A severe geomagnetic storm produced an auroral display Tuesday evening (11 Nov) that was visible even in some southern states.  From here in Creede it was an impressive show.  The red glow was only occasionally visible to the eye, but it lit up the camera display.  Camera sensors are much more sensitive to red than the human eye.  The green curtains, however, were very easy to see and very exciting.  I haven't seen a display like this since I was a kid in Upper Michigan.

Lots of pictures were obtained in two sessions, but these three were typical of the best part of the display.  Camera: Sony A7iii + Laowa 15mm f/2 lens + Hoya Sparkle-6 filter.
