Day 364: It may not have been nearly as spectacular as that seen in other parts of the country (notably New York and New Hampshire, where my sisters-of-the-heart enjoyed a much more colourful and intense display), but I am happy to have seen the red aurora mounting over Elbe Hills last night around 8 PM. It seemed to last about half an hour from the time I began observing it before it began to fade. I checked again between midnight and 1 AM, and there was nothing. The camera captured more colour than I could see, but even with the naked eye, the rosy glow was evident. If the phenomenon persists into the night tonight, I suspect incoming clouds will prevent me from seeing it again.
