Hi Rick,

Hard if not impossible to estimate an integrated magnitude on something so big.

It lit the ground, not as brightly as a full moon but much brighter than Venus does so between the two. We could see colour in the aurora directly with cone vision, greens and tinges of red/pink.

At times the fainter events are very slow moving but the bright descending ones are very dynamic dancing around the sky. I was mesmerized for hours.

Something every astronomer should have on their bucket list. Tick!

Joe
