I just noticed something in one of the aurora pictures I took.

Is that a SAR arc?

What is a SAR arc?

What is a SAR arc?

Stable auroral red arc. It’s different from the usual Aurora. I don’t know what it is myself.

I'm not sure. To confirm it I think you'd need to see images from other folks at the same time and sky area to rule out some kind of local phenomenon or image defect. SAR and STEVE are way above my skill level in atmospheric wizardry.

I have about 20 different images, let me go through them and see if this appeared in any of the other ones.

After reviewing all the images, I confirmed that this is not a SAR arc. It’s an image defect. Probably from the light post on the right side of the screen.

The storm is still going on, although not as strong. They’re pretty faint right now.
