If the rest of this summer is any indication we will probably be screwed by clouds here but I have my fingers crossed. it will be a race against time tomorrow night with the next approaching system.
I am hoping this one produces as it actually looks like we have a shot at clear enough skies to see something. That and it will get warm so you won't have to freeze out there watching it. Finally the moon is reasonably favorable with moonrise at 1am or so.
Yeah I saw that photo this morning as well. It was 30 seconds with a wide open f stop. It was definitely not naked eye visible and even in the shot it is fairly dull.
Apparently someone in MN caught some, but I had to sleep and never saw a Kp that was impressive. It maxed out at G1. It looks like by the time it got going here it was nearing morning twilight and clouds moved in.
There was a surprise G3 last night. There is some possibility for action tonight in its wake. It was cloudy and rainy last night anyway. Tonight should be clear here.
