I got some ok pics. When ever I take pictures In night mode I end up with tiny pictures and I'm too lazy to figure out why.

Just got home from venturing north of Lebanon. Just as we got up there the clouds moved in. Sucks.

It’s 2:50 and they are on break or they quit.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw them, I was about 16-17, I was dumping a wagon of corn about 2-3am.
I just looked up and saw all this colored flickering. Big tongues of color all over. Took me a minute to know what it was, but I was screaming and whooping and hollering and running in circles in the barn lot like a madman. I ran into the house screaming for mom to get up and ran back out just as fast. Dad didn’t see them, from the combine with the lights on.

That will be tough to beat, but tonight had a few wow moments as well.
If nothing else, just the reminder of how big the universe is and how small we are.

Seemed to take a break, but back at it a little.

Great pictures everybody. I was hoping to get a glimpse. They were faint with the naked eye, but the phone camera brought out more detail. Heres mine from Beanblossom.

I thought it was interesting how the phone brought out so much more color.

I would have never thought about taking a picture since we were didn't see much with our eyes. Then, I remembered someone mentioned use your camera, it will pick up more detail. Glad I did.

I was sleeping

The way they cycled was very neat to see. Last time they were visible in NWI was 2005, and it was cloudy. Glad I could take the family to the beach (2 miles away, like we did for the meteor shower) to experience it.

We got to see some even way down south.

I had planned on going out after OnPatrol ended at midnight, but I fell asleep at about 11:30. Hopefully they’re back tonight.

I think tonight's going to be a better night because it looks like it's going to be no clouds. Last night it got cloudy fairly quick after it started

Round 2 tonight. 0 clouds today!
