Dammit I gotta get myself to Norway or Canada and catch sight of at least one of them before I die...

Oh and btw, can anyone tell if the pic below is real or CG'ed?

Heck, just go to the Midwest. We saw them last night here in WI. Also had reports from Iowa and other places that they could all see them. Should be able to again tonight too because of some funky sun activity.

They aren't CG. They're just done with professional photography skills. The right lenses, the right flim and the camera all in the hands of the right photographer can produce results that are hard for the human eye to see in reality.

Indeed. Seems light years ahead of what I can do with my Powershot S30. At night, no less. :music:

That's right. The northern lights are pretty amazing in the upper-midwest section of the U.S.
