Night 2 of the aurora although much fainter:

thank you!

I did as well but at home I got this lousy drone shot with city light pollution in Raleigh and faint reds:

Anyone have any luck up there?

Kp dropped below 5 so there is that lol. I think we are cooked.

Yep now we need a boost in the Kp

Yeah I am going to give it a chance on a remote possibility.

Bad news: THE THIRD CME HAS ARRIVED (UPDATED): The highly-anticipated 3rd CME has arrived. It struck Earth's magnetic field at approximately 1917 UTC on Nov. 12th. Our first impression of the impact: It was not strong enough to cause a repeat of last night's extreme aurora display. We are downgrading our storm forecast from category G4 (severe) to G2/G3 (moderate/strong). Aurora alerts: SMS Text.

Yeah often times the much hyped additional round never works out.

Yeah the motto is if the Bz doesn't flip you won't see shit.

Yeah with that Bz you won't see anything unless it flips negative.

CME is about to hit within 20-30 minutes as of this post.

If it is behind the trade off is it may be less intense but we shall see. Either way yes we need a south Bz.

Waiting on the CME arrival to know for sure what we are dealing with.
