It was Raining Red!

Early on during the Great Northern Lights Show of 2025 on Tuesday November 11th, Red was the dominate color. That changed as the night went on, but early on, the Aurora was so intense with that Red that it literally painted everything around me red.

And as an added bonus, part of the MW was in this as well. You can see how the Northern Lights paints out 2/3rds of the MW with red.

This is another 2 shot pano. I ended up not doing tons of pano's that night, but I definitely took more pano's then I would normally do because the colors of the Northern Lights were often 180 to even 270 degrees around me and I needed to go pano at times to try and take it all in.

Raining? Looks like it was pouring red. Pretty intense.
LOL Now that's true! It felt like it too.

Some of the Northern Lights I have captured, they show up on the camera, but by eye it's just bright areas in the sky, but no real color. This one was so strong and immersive, I saw and felt the colors all around me.
