Celestial Symphony Here's a little bit of aurora with a mixer of star trails. I took a timelapse of the aurora and turned the stack of photos into a star trail. Madison County, IN 9:51 to 10:19 PM

Last night's aurora wasn't as anything compared to the aurora on Veterans Day, but there was a short period where it was visible through the hazy skies. This was the brightest I was able to capture and the red aurora on the right of the frame was actually naked eye visible briefly.
