Northern Lights tonight 10/10/24

From Island Park, started about 10:15p. Sky had some clouds and smoke haze. Completely different from the May show......,

Bright moonlight & Northern lights at camp on Cedar Mesa. Nothing our eyes could capture, but Rick captured these images with long exposure on his camera:

Unfortunately I was working night shift... probably should have used a sick day for this one. Even from my workplace with lots of light pollution I could see them. At points they were even visible to the south of me. They were not as bright as I expected but still pretty good given my poor location. Interestingly, after about 10 or 11PM they just died out, despite there still being quite a bit of solar wind activity. My family, who live out in the country in a pretty dark area, got some great views of them.

Hoping to spot the comet next. I've been checking the last couple evenings and mornings but haven't found it yet.
