The sky last night was completely socked in, so I got up just before 6 am without much hope of seeing anything. But there turned out to be enough gaps in the clouds to get a decent view of this beautiful event. All images taken with my Canon IXUS at ASA 400 and exposures from 8 to 2 seconds. When zoomed the zoom factor is 3x.
