GATECH Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Amazing! My best shot was actually looking south into the moon! Eclipse, Northern Lights maybe an over performing comet later this month! 2024 awesome for astronomy stuff! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 It has definitely died off a bit. It will likely ebb and flow - HUGE thanks to @WxUSAF - as soon as I saw your picture I went out. Had I been a few minutes slower I likely would have missed that first surge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 So excited for everyone! I’ve just landed in Colorado and sunset is about an hour away. Heading now to the Great American Beer Fest and then later heading out to dark skies beyond Boulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 The solar storm is going on all night, so I guess we’ll see. I think it is possible they come back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have expected it to be brighter now. Goes to show how space weather is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollenwiese Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Man I was taking a walk on the west side of frederick city by Hood College and thought the sky was a little too reddish to the north. Not seeing anything now from my third floor apt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormchaserchuck1 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Here's one with the moon to the south.. my sister in Baltimore city (about 30 minutes south) said that she couldn't see them. I was just far enough north, but could see the waves moving south while they were dimming somewhat 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 We did a mini-chase to Howard county conservancy which was packed with people with the same idea. So we went across the street. Was faintly naked eye visible but nowhere near the sunset event. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Pretty decent down here in Penhook around 830-9. 5 second exposure on this one. Stars are really bright tonight. Little to no light pollution to contend with. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Had the brightest red wave come through just now. Could see the spikes with naked eye and total red sky. This is wild lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is wild lol Yeah! Seeing the spikes show up was so cool. Also amazing how much more color the phone camera will pick up...probably was only 5% as colorful with the naked eye. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
