We captured the green airglow Saturday night too. Looks like it was in abundance!

Thanks, Mike ! Indeed, it seems there is lots of stuff happening in the upper atmosphere these days. This image is a panorama of 3 x 180 sec, and as you correctly pointed out - the foreground is quite blurred due to tracking. I use Kenko Skymemo as a tracker. It's much heavier than Polarie and Astrotrac, but it does have huge advantage in my observing conditions (mountains > 2000 m, strong wind sometimes) - it's extremely rigid and stable.
