Matt, these are all awesome. Thanks for posting these, and keep it up  

I wanted to comment on the Hale-Bopp one in particular...
I think that one is my favorite. It's not nearly as beautiful as the others as far as colors go, but it's something about how the trees are just silhouettes against the green backdrop, and the comet in the middle...  It's an awesome pic.

 This photographer has some incredibly sharp pictures. I might have to just post a link to his site so you guys can see everything.  (Although personally think the dark background here on the board enhances the viewing experience)

I've been checking out this forum for the first time and couldn't quite believe to find one of my pics posted here (posted 01/24/02 "There's just something about a green aurora over water.. " that's the Yukon (river) in Alaska shown in the picture by the way...)
I've you like to see some more of those, check out my site:

borealis2000.com

question and comments are highly appreciated! Thanx for starting this forum Flashpoint - I really enjoyed what you've been collecting here!
If you need to know the best place to go see the Aurora - just contact me!

Love and Light to all!

Hey it's me again...

please don't miss the Perseid meteor shower tonight and tomorrow night! They can be seen from everywhere! (weather permitting)

best times to spot meteors:

-Monday morning 2 a.m. to dawn
-Monday evening half an hour after sunset until 10/11 pm (for colorful so called earthgrazers!)
-Tuesday morning 2 a.m. to dawn

they look like this:


good luck and enjoy the show(er)

I know this is an extremely late reply. We had technically moved to a new board but the webmaster has now gone awol. It is incredibly cool to have one of these photographers visit this board. A very belated welcome to you Dirk!

Here's one from today's front page at spaceweather.com. Subdued but fantastic.
