Professional Lurker Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 How did you NH guys miss this last night??? Ginx, I looked a couple of times but didn't see anything. Quite a few clouds to my north over the Whites. Looks like the main action was pretty close to the northern horizon in my neck of the woods. I have noticed that a time exposure, even a short one will make the lights look better than what the naked eye sees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 How did you NH guys miss this last night??? Nobody missed anything. Looking at the number of stars in that photo tells me it's a looong exposure or shot with a very high iso. The naked eye probably would have strained to see an imperceptible glow right along the horizon. Yawn. Maybe I'm in the minority, but if I can't see it I really don't care. I don't see the point of taking pictures of a black sky so you can post it and make people think they missed something awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Some super expensive cameras have lenses capable of realtime video. This one really shows the rapid movement you can get further north. One of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Some CH shenanigans on Tuesday night, perhaps. The CIR shockwave should remain underdeveloped until after passing earth, but it's worth keeping an eye on in any event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 We should clear tonight if a G3 does hit. I have my fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Proton density just spiked. We have to see if the other parameters come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 anything good seen? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I really don't know much about Aurora's but did a quick look on space weather and they have it listed as "high" as of 5pm. High+: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Forecast: Auroral activity will be high(+). Weather permitting, highly active auroral displays will be visible overhead from Inuvik, Yellowknife, Rankin and Igaluit to Vancouver, Helena, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Bay City, Toronto, Montpelier, and Charlottetown, and visible low on the horizon from Salem, Boise, Cheyenne, Lincoln, Indianapolis and Annapolis.

eyewall Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 We can't buy a damn proton tonight and the solar wind is starting to decrease. None of the parameters look promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 These types of events are not a dense cloud of plasma like a CME, they are basically just push brooms that gather things in front of them. You can see this if you look at the graphs... a pronounced spike in density, followed by an increase in the IMF, and then you get into the high speed wind stream. Once you're into that stream (like we are now), the Bt falls to background levels and so even with a 100% south Bz, it's over. This one was pretty good... off the charts density, the Bt peaked near 40 and Bz dipped to -25. That would have been pretty epic BUT it wasn't sustained. Not much will happen when the IMF graph looks like the EKG of a hummingbird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 What a glorious sunspot 2447 is. Couldn't be in a more perfect position... lets hope the M2 flare produced a CME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude must have pulled an all nighter for a view that only a camera can see. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 That last M3.7 flare was very long-lived... that's the one to watch out for. Full-halo CME seems quite likely when the Lasco imagery updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
