It is ironic that if I gave your shot a 6 instead of 8 I would have gotten the Blue, oh, well, this much for honest voting ;)

Congrats on the Blue.

PS There was aurora visible last night at Gornergrat above Zermatt. It can be seen at 19h40 on this webcam:
Gornergrat Webcam 41 minutes later we had 3.6 earthquake!
