High flying AuroraWatch user Matt Melnyk managed to capture some great images of the Aurora from the cockpit at 25,000 feet last night as he flew into Edmonton! Although the magnetosphere was not disturbed enough to triggeran alert, the magnetogram shows some higher-frequency activity taking place.

In Matt's words:

While flying to Edmonton last night (Feb 14th), I caught the aurora from the front seat of an aircraft. I am the pilot so I get a good view from the front window. These lights were spotted near the Alberta and BC border from 25,000 feet and continued to dance while we continued our approach into Edmonton around 2 am. It is very difficult to capture aurora in a moving aircraft at night with no tripod and long shutter speeds so I apologize for image quality. This was the best I could get with no tripod at ISO 12,800 and a 10 second shutter.

Fantastic images! More can be seen on Matt's website: Matts website.
