Now you're getting somewhere. I've been working with norhtern lights
infotainment for about 6 years, and I also grew up in an area where
northern lights where more the rule than the exception during cold
winter nights.
One thing to remember about aurora is that it is almost always curling
across the sky, not in one sheet, but in curls as seen in many of the
pictures of actual auroras in this thread.
If you want to add yellow or red, it should be very subtle and at the
higher reaches of the aurora. It is very rarely seen, and it's almost
always overpowered by the green in the aurora.
The green in the aurora is also very light green, not as saturated green
as you have it. If you notice the images posted by Jari Juslin you can
see that the aurora is curling across the sky, and that the color is
dense at the bottom of the aurora almost greenish white, and it fades to
almost translucent towards the top. You will also notice that the aurora
is almost whiteish green at the bottom and the green is getting more
saturated at the top.
I've seen auroras with orange, blue and yellow colors, but always
intermixed with the ever present green.
Oh, well, I am rambling here. What I am saying is that it's close, but
no cigar yet. ;-) Keep working on it though!

These auroras are great to see, whether real or not.
I'm chiming in a bit late but I tried to create one using just media with
multiple density maps inside a box, not Gail's isosurface way.
I have only seen one in my whole life (long time) but it was everything from
a large diffuse red glow overhead to start with then changing to curtains
and finally rays. Something everyone should be witness to at least once,
like me.
Attached is my trial and error and giving up on it now. Might make a nice
nebulosity anyhow, but there's already an include for that.

Hope this isn't a repeated web address:
http://www.pfrr.alaska.edu/~pfrr/AURORA/INDEX.HTM
Has a great prediction map you can select your own region from for northern
latitudes:
http://www.gi.alaska.edu/aurora_predict/worldmap8.html
There's a current maximum going on because of a recent solar flare.
A "raytraced" aurora at the originating web page (don't know what it was
raytraced with but looks POVish to me):
http://www.geo.mtu.edu/weather/aurora/
Click on the jpg link to enlarge it.

Error shmerror. I havn't seen a real one, but this looks frickin cool. Way
cool. dare I say hellacool? Well, maybe if it was in a scene with a lake
and mountains. the aurora reflecting gently off the water. The only "error"
I see is in the top left corner. It seems that a border of the box is
visible (the color cuts along a straight edge atleast). Nice peice you have
here.

You are astute. Yes, it's the box container boundary.
It could have been better done, thanks though.
