Last night was an aurora for the masses, as the strongest geomagnetic storm in two decades filled the night skies with auroras far more south than normal (or north in the southern hemisphere). Here in southern Colorado we could only see a very faint reddish hue in the sky with our naked eyes, but the camera's more sensitive sensor revealed a bright magenta aurora over Ridgway and the Sneffels Range, casting a magenta glow over the snowy mountains! Since it's been rainy and snowy here lately, we were very lucky to have a window of clear skies during the strongest period of northern lights. This was quite a rare sight to see here in the San Juan Mountains!
