I'm in Colorado at 40°. We couldn't see it with the naked eye, but you could sure see the colors with night mode on your cell phone. It lasted around 45 minutes here and by the time I went to grab my real camera it was already over. At least I know now that my phone can 'see' them even when I can't.
