Hi. I am attaching an image from this past Friday's aurora outburst. Any thoughts on whether or not the bright purplish vertical light is STEVE?  Thanks.

I don't think so

STEVE looks more wavy and comet-y, and mostly not entirely vertical

this looks too vertical and straight for STEVE, IMO

Thanks. I had my doubts but not enough experience to know for sure.

Stunning image!
With a small change in color balance, the purple becomes red.  Don't know who that becomes! :-)

My friend Steve is not a redhead. So no.
Gorgeous picture anyhow!
