Last night, east of Henrietta, Missouri [- 39.228696, -93.876340]:
At 9:30 p.m. we looked at each other and said, “Let’s go.” Grabbed a camera and a tripod and drove north (toward more rural areas, with less light pollution). Started out at a state recreation area parking lot. Thought we may have seen something. We continued further north on MO 13.
Arrived at a spot north of the Missouri river on a county highway pullout, east of MO 13 and east of Henrietta, Missouri. Spent a while looking at the glow in the sky and taking the long exposure images.
Eventually we ended up 50 miles north of where we started. Turned around and drove back home. It took us three hours.
You can see the stars through the Aurora (zoom in).
Note the faint aircraft track (left):
