I am sorry you were sick that night, but I am glad your son saw it. Hopefully you were able to catch the Northern Lights on the night of the Perseids this year!

Yes! I was thankful enough to go out and catch them! Here is my best picture from my iPhone. I haven't had a chance to go through the DSLR footage yet.

I would love to see it! I figured out I could upload my picture by:
1. Taking a screenshot of the photo, and saving it as a low quality .jpg (must be smaller than 500 KB, which is ~0.5 MB)
2. Clicking "More Reply Options" in the bottom right next to the green "Post" button
3. Clicking the "Browse" button and finding my image
4. After it uploads, clicking "Attach This File"
Hope that helps!

I found the article beautiful, but at times it delves too deeply into the technical details of stargazing equipment and observations, which may detract from the poetic wonder of the Northern Lights experience.

Thanks for your feedback! I wrote this with the intent to be both narrative and technical. My brain is interested in the technical aspects of the observations I recorded, and I figured the Cloudy Nights forum would most likely feature people who are interested in the technical aspects as well.

Here in PA it was ALL CLOUDS for the May episode. I stayed up most of the nite waiting for it to clear. Nope.
It wasn't until October 10th that PA lucked out Bigtime!!! Finally saw it!!

A wonderful story, well told. I suspect your Bible Study the next day must have been something special!
