Sep 30, 2012 19:20 | #1 If you live in the higher latitudes we may be about to have a nice aurora event. It appears that a CME has hit. If you're a solar weather person- the Bz is almost -16 (it was -35) and the solar wind speed is increasing. Might be a good one tonight. It's hard to solve an equation if every term is an unknown.

But the almost full moon and some high haze spoiled the show. The moon shining on the haze made the sky too bright.. If it were completely clear and moonless, it would have been very impressive. I took one shot and then gave up...  Image hosted by forum (617332) © Jim_T [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

Sep 30, 2012 23:24 | #5 I got a text from Spaceweather.com about an hour ago, so I jumped into the car and headed to the nearest field. High clouds and the full moon killed the display compared to the one earlier this year, but hey, down here by Chicago it's still pretty rare so the effort was worth it.
