Details:
Images taken after last light with clear sky and near-first-quarter waxing crescent moon 27th April 0200 to 0400 UT. After seeing the "Unsettled" label on Spaceweather.com and NOAA-SWPC, I captured a couple of minor flare ups of pillars and reds to the north. Only faint glow, a pillar or two, and a couple meteor flashes were seen naked eye with the stars; also two or three frames captured faint Lyrid meteors, and, sadly, one or two frames included Musk Pollution satellite streaks. A far cry from the lively aurora show a few days ago on 23rd/24th April, yet peaceful and beautiful. 46.2 deg N
