Update August 4, 2010: Could see and photograph some auroras last night. Barely tell they were there visually but for sure could tell they were there. It gave a 1-2 minute period one would pick up some pillars around 11:30. It was a stronger show before it was dark in the US. Perhaps tonight's deal will arrive with better timing. I'm just amazed I was given a pretty clear hole last night as it was covered when I went north a ways. These took a fast F1.8 lens and 3200 ISO with 6-12 second exposures. The green glow and red/purple sky above could be seen(barely visually) and picked up with the camera for a good amount of time till around midnight. Dang that band of clouds. Thing was the entire sky up there was full of those when I drove north 20 miles to get out of sprinkles from some storms. Look close and you can see a storm on the right side of the horizon. Amazingly enough the Bz component wasn't even south for a lot of this. Threat of more auroras tonight, see spaceweather.com for more info.

In other news the dvd/blu-ray is essentially done. Waiting a couple days here before I'll be ready to mess with making the things. Might add a thing or two to the blu-ray version since there is more room on the disc after the video is all on there compared to the DVD(4.4 gigs maxing out the room on a dvd and around 18 gigs of the 23 one can put on a blu-ray...not sure why its 23 and not 25 like the disc says but if I wondered enough on that I'm sure I could look it up on google and find out lol).
