I had some success at photographing the auroras, or Northern Lights, here at the EllGab Garden the other night.  Of course, I had to look north and there couldn't be a worse direction to look, due to all the light pollution, tree branches and power lines.  But I took a stab at it anyway and took some pictures.  I couldn't see anything but dark sky while taking the pics, but the camera on my phone was more sensitive and it managed to pick up traces of the auroras.

Thanks, @KSM, very nice of you to say.  We don't normally get auroras down here at the Pacific Northwest.  In fact never during all the years I've lived here.
