    NASA is calling for visible Aurora’s as far south as Alabama this weekend due to a Solar Storm this weekend.

    While I live in light polluted NYC, so my hopes are not high for great shots (though if things work out, I will head to some relatively dim areas with the camera and tripod) those you in less well lit corners may have a rare chance to photograph this phenomena!

    I hope that we have clear skies. Last time the forecast was good I was way up north but never saw anything. I’ll keep an eye out this weekend because I really want to see it. I’ll also keep checking the forecast here too.

    We’ve had extraordinarily clear skies all week until tonight and we have total cloud cover:

    Latest Forecast = in 30 minutes, the Aurora will be at ‘STORM’ LEVEL!

    Alright, clouds are starting to roll in here at sunset too after a sunny day.

    Yay, clouds, clouds, and more clouds. But we needed the rain, so it’s all good.
