October 2024
Seeing the aurora has long been on my bucket list. It still is. I want to go somewhere in the far north and see it. However, thanks to some serious geomagnetic storms and clear skies, my wish was partially granted when they appeared over New Jersey. We drove out to rural Burlington County away from the light pollution of home and saw some faint northern lights. They were strong enough to notice with the naked eye and were very visible to my phone's camera. I didn't bring my real camera along since I was just shooting from the car along the road and a tripod wasn't feasible.
