Overnight September 1st and the early hours of September 2nd 2019 I drove up to the North Dakota and Minnesota border area near Hallock, MN to capture Northern Lights that were triggered by a coronal hole in the sun! Space weather is awesome! Check out my aurora forecasting series which will be getting an update shortly. https://youtu.be/3goZG_YKlCw
