This activity was predicted, and it came thru. From our Mankato, MN backyard, there were faint lights visible, perhaps showing some colors of green or pink. The camera did a fine job bringing out the color. These images were taken around 10 PM, CDT, using a Fuji FinePix S1800, vintage 2010, mounted on a tripod. Settings: ISO 3200, f/3.1, t = 2 sec.
