Stony Ridge Observatory, Los Angeles County, 34N latitude. #Aurora kicked into overdrive around 8:30 pm PST (4:30 UTC). It was easily naked eye visible for about 1 hr as pink glow.

Slow zoom. With the galaxy rotated, NGC-7331 could almost be mistaken for the Andromeda galaxy. Looks more 3D in this orientation, with that dusty outer arm partially blocking the bulge of the galactic core behind it.

My best Jupiter capture, from Oct 2023. 30 minute time lapse featuring the Great Red Spot. Imaged with a Meade 14” Lx200 at f/20 from La Crescenta, CA.
