Observer
Name Jo N
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Was a KP Index of 5 that night so I was trying to capture Northern lights. I did get pictures of the light pillars at around 9:00PM. I was taking pictures of the moon setting on the horizon and took a succession of photos and didn't notice this until I got home. The picture before and the picture after do not have this in them.
