  1. Absolutely amazing-- so today was the day the heat began in the historic summer of 1993!
  2. Wow thanks Don, so it was G5 again from 5 AM to 8 AM this morning.... too bad it was cloudy lol I took pictures around 1 AM which corresponds to 05 UT or 7.67 G4 which is pretty good too. So for tonight G3 conditions will be from 11 PM to 5 AM tomorrow morning.
  3. Like I said, there's too much water on this planet, time to siphon some of it off to somewhere else.
  4. That was the wrong way to go about it, you should have gone to sleep and then wake up at 3 AM. Tonight we'll have more clouds later on so there's less of a chance. I'm hoping they'll still be around Sunday night when the skies will be completely clear.
  5. aside from the random nice warm dry day (one or two days per week), total solar eclipse, the earthquake(s) and now the northern lights, the last two months have absolutely sucked
  6. I didn't use my light pollution filter, I wonder how much it would have helped. It's a slot filter that blocks certain wavelengths of light that are most associated with street lights.
  7. I went to bed at midnight and woke up at 3 am.
  8. Nice, I can see the clouds had just cleared and made it below the tops of the trees.
  9. Nice-- facing due north and around 3 AM?
  10. Looks like we have chances for a few days-- Sunday Night will clear up again and Monday night looks clear too.
  11. I am hoping we have some clear skies early tonight to see more of them. When I woke up at 3 am there were still clouds to the north and northwest, but it was clear to the northeast and in other directions, I waited an hour and the whole sky cleared up nicely Where's a good cold front when you need one lol? It was absolutely frigid this morning though, deep blue skies and very low humidity!
  12. wow absolutely amazing, and you're in Allentown right? Or nearby? Did you see them as clearly as the pictures you got?
  13. blue and purple are the rarest colors to see in Northern Lights, they are from ionized nitrogen!
  14. That's absolutely amazing-- they were people saying they looked better in NJ than they ever looked from Iceland lol
  15. the sky finally cleared out here a bit after 4 am and in the camera LCD they were easier to see, with my eyes it just looked like the sky was slightly brighter than normal
  16. Sue them or call the police, light pollution is a health hazard. I have filters that block light pollution. I actually have an idea, set up reflective mirrors or other reflective material and reflect their light pollution right back into their windows. People like that piss me off so bad I would be tossing bricks at their lights.
  17. I woke up at 3 AM, there was a bank of clouds to the north and northwest. I waited for awhile. Around 4:30 AM it cleared out so I took pictures from 4:30 AM to 5 AM. It would have been better had this happened in the winter when our nights are longer, but it was still sufficiently dark at that time to take images.
  18. wow what time and what direction did you look-- North? and how bright were they with your eyes?
  19. Capturing it on your camera counts as seeing it, was this over Long Island?
  20. we don't really get severe weather down here at the coast (which I'm perfectly fine with), our severe weather even when we're under a warning consists of some downpours and gusty winds for like 10 minutes.
  21. Don is tonight supposed to be just as good as last night was? Just look earlier because clouds will come in later? I plan to look around 10 PM tonight.
  22. wow Don how visible are they with your eyes and what direction did you look in?
