After the twilight glows, there was a period of little activity. I feared that the show might whimper out. I needn't have worried: At 0828 UTC the sky came to life like someone had switched a light on! The obvious red glow back lit some cloud that had gathered during the lull, showing the contrast between black and the vibrant colours of this aurora. Photo details: Minolta camera, 30 second exposure with a 28mm lens @ f-2.8, Kodak Elitechrome 200 slide film.
