Large CME recorded. Should have a significant aurora in the night skies in the next few days? Check out the recent videos from Lasco C3:

The Aurora Borealis should be visible as south as North Carolina tonight.

I read someone else commenting on unusual blue hues this time.

I'd like to see someone else's input as well. In its absence, I'll simply explain that the colors are from shooting at WB 3500K. This is the recommended setting I found in several google searches I performed just before going out the other evening, and in preparation for the Aurora event last May.
In contrast, a friend shooting at the same time was using an EOS R6 set to Cloudy. His images display the more typically presented hues for the Aurora.. I was able to duplicate that effect in my images if I opened them in Canon's DPP and set the WB to Cloudy.
