Hyakutake, Big Dipper, and Observatory Dome - April 1st, 1996.
"In one of the more spectacular pictures taken, Comet Hyakutake is shown here on March 26th, 1996 high in the dark Missouri sky. In the foreground is Elmcrest Observatory, complete with a dim red light glowing inside the dome. The stars in the background moved slightly during the exposure, causing them to appear as streaks instead of points of light. Nevertheless, the constellation of Ursa Major - including the Big Dipper - is visible. Photographs with both recognisable foreground and background objects visible can be quite striking, as they add angular perspective and contrast to the outworldly and unfamiliar comet."

The Big Dipper set in aurora colors. We don't usually have aurora. It's the first time I've ever seen it!

Last night's auroras - mostly columns of light, but I did see one sinuous serpent glide over.
