Should be able to see it as long as you aren’t in downtown I think and the clouds cooperate. Kp is 9 now with a Bz of -43. I’ve never seen those numbers before since I started following loosely in the early 2000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFCIAF Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I truly regret living in Boston right now (south end). Northern lights are one of the things I want to see most on this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it’s gonna be hit or miss for a while. The skies are def looking decent facing northeast right now here but there’s still a lot of crap around in all other directions.

It was awesome. Back down in Worcester the light pollution made it only a very short tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
