Spaceweather has a photo posted from mass. Looked like bz dipped momentarilly. Dude must have pulled an all nighter for a view that only a camera can see.
-
Honestly, doesn't look great at all. ...at least for now.
-
Keeping my eye on it. Of course, the moon sucks thought now.
-
Nothing here last night, but didn't look right at sunset. Will be on it tonight if Bz gets more favorable. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

Lol
-
I passed out; saw nothing.
-
Bz looking crappy, hoping it improves. If it does I'll head out with my camera.
-
Yeah, that is a big drawback. ...and it doesn't set until like 4:30. Ugh.
-
Freezing cold? ...it's not January.
-
Bz doesn't look so hot at the moment, but things may improve. ...could be something?

The parking lot at berkshire east has way more trees than you'd like, and the mountain on the north side of route 2 would impede your horizon view significantly. It is possible to drive up top. I have viewed aurora from the top of flying cloud, but that view is more WNW. I had top relocate to by the wind turbine for better north views. Is tricky driving up there, but if you know how, it can be done.
-
Don't know if it's possible at night to drive up Okemos mountain rd, but that could be real nice.
-
Less likely indeed. ..I'll still keep my eyes glued to the days though just in case.
-
Eyewall, it blows my mind how much higher in the sky yours were. I mean, I know you're father north, but wow... the big dipper is completely engulfed. It was just fringed for me.
-
All pics are raw, taken with my Sony a58. 30 seconds, f3.5, ISO 1800.
-
It's clouded over here, but by the numbers it's still going strong.
-
Still going strong, guys. The moon had set, so any light that you see to the north will be the lights. More of a solid diffuse glow. Did have pillars into the big dipper, so almost overhead.
-
Wow, amazing. Will try to post pics in the am.
-
Yup. All systems go. ...but clouds.
-
Kp is currently pretty low, but bz looks great. Wonder if we see anything tonight? They say that the cme may have missed, but the #'s could improve tonight.
-
Hey, that white house in the foreground looks familiar. ...must be your go-to aurora shot. I've got a similar one. I've got great views to the south, east, and west. ...but my north views are really limited. Definitely blows that it fizzled. Looking at it all afternoon, I knew deep down in the back of my mind that it couldn't last. I experimented last night with my new sony a58. Have no idea where my tripod was hiding, so it was an adventure. Next time I'll be sure to have it.
-
Yeah, but would it matter that the bz sucks right now?
-
Yes, 03 was amazing. Tonight, even with crap Bz, there's still a definite green glow to the north. Kp=8 will do that I guess. Without a doubt a kick in the nutsack the Bz shooting at like -18 all afternoon to head to -4ish right around dark, only to remain there now. ...think we're done? Btw, took some pics, not worth uploading. What are you ruining for ISO on those pics? Everything I took tonight was horrifically grainy.
-
Yeah, wtf... come on baby, just be a hiccup.
-
It's pounding 30 miles from manhattan. ... but the dude in newark doesn't care about that. He looks out the window and says "fook the nws, they don't have a clue."... but who's truly the one without the clue?
