This was shot from Tuesday evening from a dirt road leading into the (Harvest was in August) wheat/canola fields of the Palouse from around 10:30pm. I had both my Panasonic S1 setup with the newer Sigma 20mm F/1.4 DG DN lens and the Panasonic S5 with the Sigma 40mm F/1.4 lens.

With this only being a KP5, all I was able to see with the naked eye was a dim white aurora. But I did LOVE how the big dipper is hiding behind the aurora for these shots.

Just so you know, this was officially rated as maxing out at kp7. The 10 to 15 minute period when this was happening would likely have been an 8 if it lasted longer.

I never saw color with the naked eye, but do agree for that 10 minute window it was a great show.. I still have a timelapse to finish up from that evening
