Just eye-balling it from the little map I posted on Colin Legg's thread I would say that your geo mag lat is close to -47, while mine is -46, so we see very similar aurorae. I will post the geographic coordinates to Bob Evans the head of the Aurora & Solar section so that he can convert them and see how close my guess is.
Cheers,

Ian, we are lucky to have you here imparting so many years of wisdom. I always learn something new when you post
I'm just rendering my timelapse that covered the entire night from SW WA. I will post it soon and be interested in your views on how it compares to other KP 6 events you've witnessed.
I was up there with Greg in January imaging from the very top peak. It's a fabulous view and light pollution free from WSW -> ENE. Perfect for aurora viewing. I have a 360 x 195 degree shot that I will post showing the full panorama.
Your 2001 pano is jaw dropping!
