Ooooo hellooooo auroras! Please keep going until it gets dark here!
https://www.aurorasaurus.org/ shows a few positive aurora views in New England! Go outside and look if you're in the northeastern US or eastern Canada!

While we wait, the internet needs some happy animal vibes, so here's a cat in a basket, and my herd happily eating new grass (it's been super dry, until it rained like crazy the last 2 days, so there will be a bit more grass before winter hides all of it).
Still not dark enough... though definitely getting dark a LOT earlier than even a week ago! It's nearly 4 minutes less between sunrise and sunset every day at this time of year at this latitude.
https://www.aurorasaurus.org/ is still looking promising! Guess I'm going to drink some tea then bust out the fancy camera and pretend like I know what I'm doing.

Ooooo yes!!! they're here!!!! Also clouds, but the auroras are easily visible in between them!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I should add that the red colour is almost completely invisible to your eyes. But the greens were gorgeous and easy to see!! WOW.

@sundogplanets

Is this the Geomagnetic storm Aurora?
Apparently there was a mystery Level 7/Geomagnetic one in the last couple of days.

@sundogplanets Thanks for the heads up several hours ago. Got outside in mid-lower peninsula of Michigan in time to get some good pictures. Like yours, the red was very faint to naked eye, but the green was intense.
@sundogplanets great pics! it's very cloudy here alas. When we were reading about the coronal hole on Friday and looking at the upcoming weather (clear last night, cloudy tonight) we had a feeling we knew when things would get good
@sundogplanets absolutely stunning! Thanks you for sharing.
@sundogplanets Ooh! Breathtaking! I am envious! I drove out to the darkest road I know trying to see auroras here, and nothing but stars. The stars were nice, though.

Southern New Mexico has entered the chat.

Red auroral glow was barely visible just above the horizon around 10PM local time...needed 30-second exposures, f/1.4, ISO 400.

But what surprised me more was the green airglow. It was bright and had texture/detail. These two images (processed to better show the lumpiness of the sky background) show the green airglow 'clouds' drifting north over time.

Is that what's left of your goats? Tragic but pretty.

@sundogplanets That's one thing I miss about living outside of Saskatoon. That and the flowing wheat fields.
@sundogplanets so jealous! I'm just NW of Boston and I'm gonna look when I get off the train. I hope I can see it.

@sundogplanets
Aurorasaurus says someone in my area reported seeing aurora, I rushed out but I did not see. Perhaps there is too much light in my neighbourhood.
I did see a lot more stars than usual so that was nice. I recognized the W constellation (as I call it).

@bjb @sundogplanets Once you get your "ticket" you can use aurora to make contacts quite far out on 6m! Consider it a consolation prize. ๐Ÿ˜€
@sundogplanets Nothing going in Waterloo at 11 PM.

@sundogplanets

Wow! That different to us! At -33 we're getting close to 2 minutes extra daylight a day (a minute each end). It makes sense when you think about it, but I didn't until just now. ๐Ÿค” There's always something new (to me) to discover in the fedi. ๐Ÿ˜ Thanks!

@sundogplanets Do you find keeping farm animals very grounding? I've got 3 hens in my tiny suburban back yard and they're just so focused on the basics of life. They know what's important. Scratch and peck. Dust bath. Preening. Snooze in the sun. If you're hungry, go to the fence and yell until the human comes.

@anne_twain @sundogplanets
"If you're hungry, go to the fence and yell until the human comes."

good life tip, right there.

@Syulang @anne_twain Yeah, having animals and growing food is vitally important when my job is entirely thinking about things that are far, far away from Earth!
@sundogplanets horse has a nice braid in their tail!
@sundogplanets Iโ€™m 10 miles west of Boston, in the burbs. Went outside to look, took a pic with my phone, nothing, but Iโ€™m not in a dark spot. Good luck, and thanks for the heads up!
@glasspusher @sundogplanets oh no! I'm still hoping. I'm almost home and off the T so I can see.

@NosirrahSec @sundogplanets

How did you make out? Several of my club members were able to see it in darker spots. I re-examined the pic I took at 9:08 EDT and there is some redness near the horizon. Seems a bit later on was better too.
