Comments:  I never would have thought that I would see an auroral display in Northern Illinois twice in one week.  This display was not as intense to the naked eye as that two days earlier.  These shots were taken in Hinckley, Illinois about 55 miles west of Lake Michigan.  The glow on the horizon is Dekalb, Illinois to the north.
