    Well smart, I am still trying to get a viewing of the lights, let alone get a photo. Thanks for posting.

    There was one in 2003 and another in 2001 when the aurora was overhead and you could make out the reds and purples,it was a KP 9 event(as good as it gets ) and there are on average,4 of these every solar cycle(11 years)so they are quite rare but thats what makes them so special.
