  1. 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.
  2. I went to bed at midnight and woke up at 3 am.
  3. Nice, I can see the clouds had just cleared and made it below the tops of the trees.
  4. Nice-- facing due north and around 3 AM?
  5. Looks like we have chances for a few days-- Sunday Night will clear up again and Monday night looks clear too.
  6. 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!
  7. wow absolutely amazing, and you're in Allentown right? Or nearby? Did you see them as clearly as the pictures you got?
  8. blue and purple are the rarest colors to see in Northern Lights, they are from ionized nitrogen!
  9. That's absolutely amazing-- they were people saying they looked better in NJ than they ever looked from Iceland lol
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. wow what time and what direction did you look-- North? and how bright were they with your eyes?
  14. Capturing it on your camera counts as seeing it, was this over Long Island?
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. wow Don how visible are they with your eyes and what direction did you look in?
  18. which part of PA? how visible is it with your eyes and what direction did you look in? we have clouds here to the north and west and it's clear to the south and east lol. I guess the northeast looks pretty clear too. But north and northwest are cloudy.
  19. Astronomy is way more interesting-- bring on northern lights and more eclipses!
  20. Oh you're up late looking too? I got some advice, even if you can't see them take pictures of the night sky with your camera (long exposure 4 sec to 10 sec) and they might show up in the images.
  21. we were in the low 50s Now I'm looking for Northern Lights!
  22. and hopefully the clouds break in time for a historic Northern Lights display tonight!
  23. ugh yeah I just wish we could at least have normal temps and sunshine though lol
