You captured the colors nicely, and I see the Big Dipper on the right. :)

thanks

How far north do you have to go to get a good aurora? I want to try and capture some this year, but I don't know where to go.

well i am in central Saskatchewan Canada, right along the Manitoba border.. im pretty much right in the auroral zone so i see them quite a bit... but just a few miles north of me or about 1 or 2 hours drive its even more common.. but it depends on where you are in the world.. how far north you have to be really depends on where you are in the world.. here in Canada anyplace that is across central Canada can usually see it providing its dark enough, starting from where i am it curves up to Alaska.. from what i understand those of us here in north America dont have to go as far north to see them cause of the north magnetic being just off the north eastern shore of Canada.. or so i read....

:[ Past central Canada is a bit far of a drive -- That general area is about 1500 miles away

Where about are you..? If I may ask

Southwest Michigan

well livign there you might be able to see it... i know it can be seen in the northern united states.. being we are suppose to see alot of strong solar stormed this year you might se it there... never know..

That would be really cool to see it with the upcoming comet :D

All I can say is beautiful
