The shafts were whitish with a hint of green. They also appeared NNW against a clear sky. The intensity of the shafts varied independently of the variations in the haze. The appearance of the aurora early in the display. Green oxygen emission above the northern horizon with red rayed band above.
Intense ray shows up as yellow in the east.
Approximately 10 second exposure. All photos were taken using 200 ASA film with a 50mm lens at f1.8 from Grundisburgh, near Ipswich. All photos were taken using 400 ASA film with a Minolta 700i. Three of our members went on the Explorers Tours trip to Alaska to observe under the auroral oval. Every night was clear with fine displays visible on 4 out of 5.
