Aurora
Camera

Nikon CoolPix 4500

Date 10 November 2004
Description After hearing Bill Clinton speak at Hamilton College, we returned home at about 10:30pm to find a message on our answering machine from one of our astronomy club members telling us that there was an Aurora in progress.  We drove out into the country (to get away from the city lights) and watched the Aurora for several hours. It was truly beautiful and streamers of color went from the horizon all the way to the zenith. We returned home after the Aurora started to diminish but around 4am it all started up again.  This picture is looking north from our back yard.
