I went out again last night after midnight in search of the northern lights, which were supposed to be fairly active like the night before. The lights certainly were active, but not nearly as much as the previous night. The Milky Way and an extremely calm Lake Superior made up for the lack of aurora though! I couldn't believe how calm the lake was. It really made the view of the star light even more impressive. Even though there was no moonlight last night, I had no trouble at all seeing my way around the shore once my eyes adjusted. The light being cast by the stars and the faint aurora was unbelievable. It felt like my own personal dark sky paradise :-)
