It was quite low in the north, never higher than the bottom of the Big Dipp=
er, so if you didn't have a good northern horizon, you could have missed it=
. If you live south of Hantsport light pollution may have interfered and on=
ce the moon came up around 10 it would have washed out any aurora.

The usual aurora website has not updated it's forecast for today and is sti=
ll showing the Friday one.

This is what we missed, but I do think the best would have been looking ove=

Observed from Avonport about 9 p.m. until about 9:45, just after moonrise

Here are  samples of photos I took using my Canon T3i  The link is to my Dr=
opbox, from which the photos can be viewed as a slideshow and/or downloaded=
.

Also note that the unaided eye did not deliver the same colour intensity as=
 what the  digital camera captured.
