Observing Notes
from the Tuckahoe Irregulars
Tuckahoe, November 6 2001...Steve Long
Stripes, splashes, globs, blobs, rivers, pillars, curtains and streams.
Reds, whites, greens (and blues?), so intense that
they were visible even near a 70% full moon. My most unique sight
was a group of narrow, parallel greenish-white smears, high in the sky
and disconnected from the broader aurora-glow on the horizon. For
40 seconds it looked as if the bear from the indianlegend about Devil's
Tower had taken a swipe at Cassiopeia.
Don may have some photos tonight. I shot a whole roll, but it
is slide film and I won't get to see it for a few days.
