The aurora here in North Central Indiana was pretty short lived. It dropped from peak intensity about 5 minutes after I first saw it and faded slowly over the next hour.
In other news, the 14 inch is now on its way back to Meade. I hope I have it back by the first week of December, but I'm not holding my breath. There are some "horror reports" of scopes coming back from Meade in worse shape than they shipped out. I hope this is not the case with mine.
