Aurora Redux?

  It didn't hurt to try again but last evening (11-12-25) was a weak imitation of the night before. We had the northern lights again but they were quite weak. Here's what I saw:

8:13 pm

 I took this shot early and was hoping for some  evidence that the aurora was starting. The green glow near the horizon seemed unnatural and might have been the initial stages of the aurora.

9:22 pm

 In the center of this shot - and behind the tree - I could see the familiar red glow of the aurora firing up.

9:23 pm

 Now there are multiple areas glowing red and a weak aurora is underway.

9:31 pm

 There wasn't much to see last evening as this photo illustrates. But in normal times I'd be ecstatic that there was anything resembling an aurora in the greater Dayton area. By the way, this was barely visible to the naked eye, and maybe not at all. What is actual vision and what is hopeful imagination?

9:39 pm

 There is again a weak aurora across the northern sky. It's disappointing but at least it repeated.

9:42 pm

 The red has a vertical component to it. It's unmistakable northern lights.

10:28 pm

 A final look before bed. The aurora has ended ... for now. Others took some nice shots overnight but I'd had enough. One never knows how the ebb and flow will work out.

 I did set up a time lapse with one of my Wyze camera that failed. I found no recording at all, even though I checked the settings multiple times. Here's a view of how I had the camera aimed, both before the sun set and after it was dark..

 So another attempt at the aurora but one which produced no memorable results.
