Taking photos of displays...

Well, I've never been to Penguin Central. But I spent six months in Troms?, in northern Norway, and while they didn't look green to the naked eye, the auroras there were even more spectacular, in some respects, than what's in those pictures - in particular, they covered far more of the sky. The most spectacular time I recall, I was looking out a window and thus could see only about half the sky, but in that half, from the zenith to about some 30?-45? down towards the horizon was basically covered in these spectacular sheets of light. I don't know why they didn't look coloured. Perhaps because the light level was too low for much colour vision? /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
