Big aurora tonight and Saturday?
The forecast is higher than usual tonight and Saturday -- probably because of all of the solar flare activity. Man, do I wish I could just drop everything and head North!!

- Nothing yet. It is still too bright -- clear sky, bright moon, and a bit of light on the north horizon from the setting sun at 11:20 p.m.
Yup, the sun is setting to the north already. - See anything Sue? I was just outside, lovely night, Mars & Jupiter nice, bright and non twinkling, with the almost full Moon almost half way between them, but alas no aurora!
I do remember eleven years ago, or was it twenty two? seeing an overhead coronal aurora like the one on the GI site, and this was from right here in Brentwood Bay! Ah the 'good ol' days'! - yuppers...just need to wait for it to get dark. Sun just came off the mountains at 9:15. Won't be dark for a while yet.
