For me it has to be the Aurora of October 10th. Watching the whole sky exploded from this bortle 7 park just showed how intense that flare was. Best thing I've witnessed since I started this hobby in 2021
*** I can't agree more.
It was the same for, I spent practically all of september and october trying to catch the comet without any luck, it was almost ridiculous at one point, and then, all of the sudden, the 10th was perfect. I remember saying to my wife, OK darling, I'm leaving to the mountains, I don't know what's going to happen but I'm going... and I almost, just almost, lost the auroras because I had some... problems lets say, with a group of 50 cows blocking my way up to the top of the mountain, I had to take an alternative route, a kind of dangerous one considering I was carrying almost 30kg in my backpack so I wasn't even seeing the sky because I was so focused about not falling into the river...
And then, just to be sure, I decided to take a picture of the cows under the milky way and that's when I saw the sky finally.
Best gift the night sky gave me last year without a doubt.
