Aurora from the historic solar storm on May 10-11, 2024. Mostly photographed after 3AM CDT in Grayslake, IL, a north suburb of Chicago. That the aurora was that visible through the light pollution is remarkable. With the last G4 storm that we had on April 23, 2023 where bright aurora was visible in rural McHenry county, only some green was visible near this location.
The images are all 4K but I stepped them down to 1080 as this saves me a lot of work. As with the eclipse video, this is meant as personal documentation and I'm aware that others had much better vantage points. If you want to see the higher quality images, let me know!
The image with the moon/deep red was shot about 30mi S of Champaign, IL and the shooting star and selfie were shot about 20mi N of Champaign. These were both with the first (evening) wave. I was traveling north from Alabama on this day.

This was the best aurora display i've ever seen, had it go directly overhead here with corona and everything. Will upload the full version when I can!! Its quite cool that we both were recording the same event, these are some fantastic images you've captured

If only I was out in a rural area during this substorm. I was in a dark spot earlier in the evening, however a quick moving weather system brought clouds and showers to that area.

The video is dark in the beginning for about 10 seconds before the massive substorm hits.
