nj2va Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Wow, great pics. I can’t see from the naked eye here but see some pink through my camera, but too much light pollution. Pics from family in NH and NY are pretty too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Wow. What a night. We went down to the lake and it was stunning. Naked eye no problem but long exposure pics kill it lol. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Whatever allows the aurora to be here when it never was; what else gets “brought south” with it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Good question. I'm paying extra attention to weather patterns this year. So far the difference is +NAO. We have had 8 +NAO periods this year, when it was a total of 3 in the last 4 years. There was stuff published on this relationship prior to this year.. My intuition says more High pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was taught in college classes that it could never happen. Apparently 2003 was much stronger (?) and it only made it to Canada. Something tells me this one is stronger..

NorthArlington101 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Growing up this happened way farther north only My theory is social media vastly has increased awareness… plus phone camera exposure and night mode being so readily acceptable. Think Aurora is probably visible from Shenandoah a dozen+ times a year during the years of solar maximum. Wouldn’t have known that in the past because no one tried… or if they did it wasn’t shared out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No! It seems like people keep making this point about awareness being greater only recently. Record keeping was very good when I was growing up in the 1990s, and well before in the 1970s-80s. We have had access to satellites that are used very much by the public for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more the cameras that have improved rather than the satellites. Everyone now carries a $1000 camera with them at all times. We’ve realized we don’t need G5s or K9 or whatevers to see Aurora in the mid-Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

News stations definitely would have reported Aura's several decades ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
