Description

Northern lights might be visible in the upper parts of Indiana this week.

I was fortunate to catch such a display while on vacation in Maine, on June 18, 2015. I decided to look up the shots to remind me of what northern lights can look like

Being my first visit to Maine,I thought this was a regular occurrence in the state; but when I showed the pics to our innkeeper, she remarked that she had never seen northern lights before!

This is a 30 sec exposure shot with a simple Fuji camera. Looking north. Even the green glow at the horizon is from incoming photons, as this was shot at 2:30AM and there is nothing but forest between me and Canada.

Wow, it works! I plugged in the date & time into SkySafari, and the image lines right up!
