Prof. Sam LawlerOoooo 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!

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.
