The timelapse captured the northern horizon from 2 a.m. to 4:30 a.m. finishing with 541 frames and seven total meteors.
NOAA later announced that a CME driven G3 geomagnetic storm caused KP7 levels to be observed early Sunday morning.
The aurora made an unexpected appearance while we were timelapsing for Perseid meteors in central Nevada this past weekend.

A Red Flag Warning is in effect from 2-10 PM today for the Sierra Front and west-central Basin & Range. Low daytime RH and gusty winds this afternoon will create a multi-hour period of critical fire weather conditions. Avoid activities that could cause a spark! 🔥
