Pete Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Kindex level is 8- we should be able to see them in the mid lattitudes. The past two nights they have been able to see them as far south as Alabama. Keep an eye to the north when it gets dark. If thats not enough there is the Taurids meteor shower tonight and the Leonids meteor shower on Thursday. I am getting bundled up, grabbing a camera and going out to watch the show http://www.space.com/spacewatch/aurora_cam.html

gmac17 Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Or, if you live in Alaska: Look up. It's funny. When I was in Manitoba last month I was all excited to see them and everyone else was like "so what, big deal"

They're really awesome and I get alot of enjoyment from them when they dance.

HtownBillsFan Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 What time is a good time to see them? I live in the Southern Tier if it matters.

A little dimmer than when last I saw them in the Adirondacks, but still spectactular.
Pete Posted November 10, 2004 Author Posted November 10, 2004 Activity level is below 9 and there is this update from spaceweather.com- Update: This storm might end soon. The interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) near Earth has titlted north--a condition that suppresses geomagnetic storms. Still worth keeping an eye out but the chances have diminished for the aurora. Great meteor shower tonight though. 7 an hour at least and a good percentage are fireballs
