March 27th, 2008 Aurora’s

I am currently in Lutsen, MN on the North Shore for the weekend, it’s the kids spring break, were up for a long weekend.  I drove a ways out of town this evening with my brother as we currently have some solar winds from a coronal hole.  The limiting magnitude was in the 6.8 range the sky’s were amazingly dark in the Superior National Forest.   The show was not outstanding but, certainly worth the one hour trip.   In addition to the spectacular non light polluted sky’s and Auroras we also watched a bright satellite pass, a satellite flare both un-identified (I will have to look them up might have been the ISS and an iridium) was also saw a nice slow moving meteor, a nice orange color.
