    Somewhere over southern Illinois I could see a line in the sky toward the front of the plane and I didn’t know what it was, roughly southwest. Took a photo and didn’t look at it closely. Landed, and woke up a bit, and it’s quite startling aurora. I wish I’d taken more than one photo and gotten it to focus!

    Later from the ground in Iowa looking to the north it was nearly invisible by eye, and just a bit of color by camera. The moon being so big, plus humidity and high altitude haze and contrails is tough for dim aurora.
