Wow! For anyone unfamiliar with Kurts setting, hes in the middle of a metropolitan area of 2.9 million people. Thats A LOT of light pollution and keeping the shutter open all night long isnt going to enhance a celestial phenomena against that kind competition. I grew up in a semi-rural part of Minnesota and never saw anything like this. Wispy light green high altitude curtains yes, but never anything like what weve seen posted over the last couple of days from the Midwest (albeit without the definition weve seen out of Ontario) and certainly not from the middle of the Twin Cities . . .
