Besides standing outside in a dark spot, what's your go-to page for stats? No moon tonight, either. All you really need is this link. That dip to near -20bz would have been great had it lasted until dark. This is the front end of a coronal hole that supposedly has a weak CME entangled in it. Should see a sudden jump in the solar wind speed at some point if true. http://services.swpc.noaa.gov/images/ace-mag-24-hour.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Things got pretty lively for a time on the Sebec Lake webcam. Probably would have been able to pick up some color on camera down here, but I wasn't feelin' it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a time where we weren't getting agood Bz reading, so I made the executive decision to NOT get eaten alive waiting alone with my camera in the dark.

dendrite Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Nothing really going on, but there's a really strong red glow through the overcast to my north. MWN is socked in too so no AURBO chance there. Maybe it's just some strong red light scattered through the low overcast, but I don't recall ever seeing the northern horizon lit up like this on my cam before.

dendrite Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Heh...looks like the IR light never kicked on for my sky camera which explains why it was seeing light on the horizon versus the usual foreground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Tomorrow night is worth watching with the rapid-fire CIR/CH/CME sequence. Hopefully the timing is right and the streams don't just destructively interfere with each other. Quote Solar wind parameters are expected to be enhanced for the remainder of day one (15 May) due to the anticipated arrival of a CIR in advance of a recurrent, positive polarity CH HSS. On day two (16 May), this enhancement in solar wind parameters is expected to persist until an additional enhancement impacts Earth late in the day from the expected arrival of the 13 May CME. Day three (17 May) should see persistent influence from the combined CH HSS and CME effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 There was a G3 last night. Nothing like waking up to find out you missed it. Aurora seen down to Mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 G2 watch in effect starting Sunday from the full-halo CME last night. This is from the STEREO craft situated out ahead of earth so the amount of plasma headed east is misleading, but still, surprisingly impressive event for such a magnetically simple sunspot region.

eyewall Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 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.

The aggregate of modelling from the CME scoreboard has it hitting mid-morning tomorrow local time, which would be pretty abysmal timing but also par for the course the past few years. I'll be checking periodically throughout the night tonight for an early arrival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Has anyone considering plotting 9 planetary +1 moon position in the 360 sky, include angles to each other, versus World weather, also +++ so many days, going back as far as satellites have been plotting data? it would be over ten thousand variables. Could be awesome. I would do it with fast software. You could go forward 1000 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in South Hero for a few years. The causeway is a good spot for viewing. Saw the lights a few times from there. Awesome wide open view looking north.

eekuasepinniW Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 lol, just saw it arrived a few hours ago. Bz is more than -20 so we're missing a great show. Odds of it staying that way for the next 14 hours are 0.01%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
