Scene: Low green arc hugging the horizon; clean dark sky above.
Detail: Arc is distinct but narrow, with very gentle upward blur — a classic pre-curtain state. No vertical rays yet, but formation is clear.
Atmosphere: Crisp and clear, stars faint but visible.

Scene: Arc now has clear edges and layering.
Detail: Upper boundary begins to feather into the sky, suggesting motion or mild ray development.
Note: Still a structured, low-level aurora — elegant and tidy.

Scene: Broadest coverage of the green arc series.
Detail: Top of band reaches higher than previous images, with feathered structure hinting at faint verticality — though still smooth.
Atmosphere: Pristine skies — no moonlight or haze. Classic rural aurora feel.

Scene: Pale red-pink glow above horizon; green layer barely visible.
Detail: Aurora here is weak, but definitely present. Red glow looks like substorm tail or distant proton arc.
Sky: Slight haze or fog diffusion, masking structure.

Scene: Slight increase in intensity; upper red deepens slightly.
Detail: Still no vertical structure. Possibly detached from main oval — glancing blow from storming.
Note: If anything, a “whisper” of aurora — not dramatic, but interesting in its palette.

Scene: Flat pink/red horizon glow, some green wash just above ground.
Detail: No structured arc, but subtle tonal gradation suggests weak auroral activation.
Sky: Likely influenced by residual daylight or moonlight — washed out, but aurora present.
Context: Verified minor storming occurred — this could be the start of something that never developed further.
