Solar storm alert!

Get ready for another night of high solar activity and the potential to see aurora at Balsam. NOAA is predicting G4 and maybe G5 levels tonight and early Friday morning eastern time. I would suggest going out after dark and just taking photos of the sky toward the north. Be sure to set your phone for night mode. If you have a DSLR you probably know to set your ISO high and try 5-30s time exposures on a tripod. Check the link below for updates and check Spaceweather to see if anyone is posting aurora photos from southern Europe late this afternoon.
