Murphy Dome Success: Day 140


My previous attempts to capture the aurora from Murphy Dome have been unsuccessful. Either the lights never appeared or the clouds drew the curtains. Last night, despite having to wait until after midnight for twilight to finally subside below the horizon, the aurora kept its part of the bargain and put on a descent late-season showing. I'm fairly certain the bright smudge directly above the radar dome is the Andromeda Galaxy.
