Amazing Northern LIghts here the past week or so. I can't take pictures 
of them with any
of my cameras but I have seen the results of others and they look 
impressive. I actually turned
off my yardlight a few nights to get down to zero "light pollution" and 
have a good view.
Nothing but star light and those waving and moving sheets of light in 
the whole Northern'
sky.
