Details:
STEVE put in a surprising but subtle showing last night (July 16 -17) over western Canada. The Kp Index was only 2, perhaps peaking to 3 at times. It was enough to produce a normal auroral arc across the north and the STEVE arc from east to west high in the sky, and south of the main auroral band.
This is from Bow Lake, Banff National Park, Alberta on a perfect night in the Rockies.
During the STEVE show, the ISS made a pass, flying to the east toward STEVE. One wonders if anyone was looking down and might have seen STEVE from above?! But he was faint and colourless to the eye. The camera reveals STEVE's characteristic pink colour with fingers of green now and then. As usual STEVE lasted only about half an hour.
