We're at solar maximum this year, so the solar flares are much more active (should be a good year for auroras).
OP, if you haven't already, please consider submitting your photos to the SunSketcher project, which is partnered with NASA in helping to define the shape of the sun.
It is only available for US accounts.
That's for the app, which then auto-uploaded the pictures it took. You should be able to email pictures to one of the investigators; their names and affiliations are on the website.
