My second attempt to photograph the northern lights from Murphy Dome last night was again a bust. Geared up for the cold and waiting for the sun's wash to subside behind the horizon, hours went by with only a weak green arch appearing from the northeast, refusing to brighten any more than barely visible. Not surprising the predicted geomagnetic storm appears to be delayed. Fortunately I came across another photographer hoping to add the aurora to his portfolio, providing a welcomed relief from the often lonely and occasionally spooky experience of aurora watching.
