It's really like 25 degrees or maybe 35 degrees above the horizon. From my house with trees to my north I can't see anything. If I drive up my road 1/2 mile to the hilltop and look to the north horizon over the S Whites its very clear. The hilltop is pitch black with the Milky Way blazing. So unless you can see to the north (assuming no towns) you miss it. Between me and the Whites there are almost no lights. (Downtown Plymouth to the NE). If they get brighter and I can see them from the house I will repost. They seem to change in brightness minute by minute. When I just left they were very dim again....

dendrite Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Similar trees to the north here...about 30deg. The tree line is along the bottom of the big dipper right now. I have some slight life to the north (rt 3...hannaford, cvs, etc) so maybe the bit of light is flooding it out. If i can't see it with the bare eyeit's a non event for me. I'll keep peeking a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 2 or 3 times living here full time since 2001 have I seen AB near overhead. I know you have Tilton's lights to your north too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilton is more NE of me than due north. I don't expect to see anything, but I'll glimpse out every so often. Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to drive up to the hill one more time right now...just to see if its brighter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxBlue Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Went up the road from Dover and was able to get two bright green bands on my long exposure pictures. It was around for about 5 minutes before fading away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may see up to G2 storming tonight or more likely tomorrow night. The forecast is favorable for viewing as far as the weather goes. Obviously timing is everything. The moon phase is waning which is good as well. looking on Twitter, I saw some nice aurora pics all the way down into Arkansas (Little Rock). According to the people I talked to, this was the best display and flare in over a decade- I guess the sun's waking up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Got an aurora alert this evening. I didn't see anything out there just before clouds rolled in though.Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I went up to the top of my hill last night and couldn't see anything. My friend Dave setup at the foot of Newfound Lake and with a time exposure caught them very faintly. Like the ones I briefly saw last week they are usually far on the north horizon. The key lately is you really need to have an unobstructed north view without any city lights in that direction... Here's the pic he posted on his site... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it is absolutely about as faint as possible there and definitely wouldn't be naked eye visible. The Bz was not in good position before the clouds rolled in. Those farther west in the US got a show later once it flipped south again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianW Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Just got a ton of reports from friends//family of some good sightings of the Orionid Meteors tonight along the CT shoreline. One of the year's best sky shows will peak this weekend between Oct. 20 and 22, when the Orionid meteor shower reaches its best viewing. The meteors that streak across the sky are some of the fastest and brightest among meteor showers, because the Earth is hitting a stream of particles almost head on. https://www.space.com/34373-orionid-meteor-shower-guide.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 KP index a 5 so I went to the top of the hill for a look. Definite brightening on the north horizon but with the naked eye I could not make out any detail. Need to be able to see to fairly low to the north to notice. Moon rises around 9pm which will probably kill anything after that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
