I went out at 10 and 11:55. It honestly didn't kick off to my naked eye until 12am ish. I was also looking towards the north/northwest/Glacier (30 miles away). I turned around to go inside my house and noticed a couple of bands overhead and more to my south. I knew it wasn't the Milky Way, so I got my phone out and that was it!

I didn’t see a thing on last night but I was pretty wiped out. So, I didn’t spend as much time looking as I probably should have.
