Northern Lights over Moulton Barns

Northern Lights over the T.A. Moulton Barn: On Tuesday, this past week, I was out early, about 4:30 AM and started taking some images of the Moulton barn with the northern edge of the Milky way. To my surprise, when looking at the back of the camera, a purple, red, green and yellow glow appeared in the north. This wasn't background lighting, but the Northern Lights. I was excited to see this combined with the milky way.
