Several days ago my sister sent me a text suggesting I look outside and north to see the aurora in action. She said she's barely been able to see it, but a photo made it quite visible. I wasn't able to get much at all, just a vaguely redish or greenish tinge to the sky. In the end I had more fun doing long exposure photos of the road to get those "streaky" car light trails! (Pics 4, 5 and 6 below.)

I did get a fairly decent picture of ursa major though (pics 2 and 3 below) without much camera shake, even.
