Taken with a Sony Cybershot through my Bushnell 18-36x50 spotting scope set on 18x.

Thanks, I was hoping to see it but it is to cloudy where I live tonight.  Big disappointment as I wanted to check it out with my spotter.

Good job, Mithran!  I too looked for it but it was too cloudy here as well.

Great photo!  I saw it, but a close up is really cool.

 We had clear skies last night, and I had forgotten about it, but happened to look out about 10:30 and saw it. It gave the fresh snow a strange, bluish color,too.  Pretty cool!
 Nice pic, Mithran.  It looks a little like your avatar!

Nice pic, Mithran. We had a cold clear night up here and I watched the whole thing through my Steiner Senators. It was beautiful.
