Trip to see the Northern Lights

Another resource is spaceweather.com

Wonder if Northern Maine is enough?

I spent xmas on Lake Superior, but despite crystal clear days and active Auroral conditions, it managed to cloud up every night.

I regularly follow a blog by Astro Bob. He lives in Minnesota north of Minneapolis and often posts pictures of the Aurora visible from his area. His most recent Aurora posts are from mid-February with some great pictures here (scroll down about half way).

NOAA also has an Aurora Forecast.

............... or you could fly to Yellowknife.

Can't help much. We did go to Alaska (flew) a number of years ago. Went in early/mid August as we wanted to have nights as long as possible but before (what I had read) the likely hood of cloudier/rainier weather that may begin in September.
We did get to see the northern lights even that early in the year. But that was the first time they had been visible that summer. Don't know how far north or how late in Canada you may have to go to have a decent chance of seeing them though.

Sounds fun, and I'm curious to see what the tips are. Most of the CG's in the Northern regions close for the Winter, and Winter is when the lights are most active, or at least, have the best odds because of longer nights and clearer night skies.
