I wonder if I’ll see a comet and aurora at the same time?  That would be rare indeed

The first and best aurora sighting I had was in 97 with comet Hale Bopp visible with it.  I remember someone actually made a poster with them both over Lake Champlain.  Here is a photo but not mine and not of the poster but of Hale Bopp

Not as intense as May 10th but still very visible to the naked eye including the color (especially the reds). This is incredibly rare to have two aurora events this far south in one year.

It def. was, but that doesn't really answer the question. I bet if it was real real strong you'd see it wave slowly.

I did last night. Around 7:30pm with the mega burst—that moved slowly.

Then late around 1am where you could see waves of light pulsing from north to south in real time. It was unbelievable.
