2024 aurora

This is an aurora I witnessed in October 10, 2024, at Gold Creek Pond at Snoqualmie Pass. The moon was out and very full, but no match for this beautiful aurora from the north. I love it that you can see some stars reflected in the pond's surface, and if you look closely you can even make out the Andromeda Galaxy on the upper right.
