Late in the evening the clouds started to clear as the numbers started coming in alerting of heightened geomagnetic activity with possibility of a G1 storm from a glancing blow of solar particles. I got to Spanish Banks on the south side of Burrard Inlet hoping the city lights wouldn't drown out the Aurora event. I wasn't disappointed. It was a brilliant short event, this time-lapse is over a 240min period. For a change i wasn't standing on Otago Peninsula in 100km winds - this was 21°C and no wind, just perfect for my first Aurora Borealis.
