I captured three substorms during this auroral display but this one at 10:40pm was easily the strongest. The event was triggered by a small, negative polarity coronal hole, and the mostly southward Bz was likely enhanced by the Russell-McPherron effect, helping push the aurora farther south than expected, especially during substorms. Captured using a Nikon Z5ii and a 24-50mm Nikkor lens

I took a few photos downtown the other night and this is by far my favorite one that I captured. Nikon Z5ii, f7.1, iso 320, and 4 second exposure
