mr mom wait til next week, if that sunspot rotates into view and another coronal mass ejection happens while pointed at earth...you very well may see them very easily in this area.
I think the last time I seen Aurora down here was just a few years ago out fishing, anyone remember that it was down to NJ I think?
It happens this far down from time to time, but mostly in the upper latitudes, above 50 degrees lat I think.

That would be really cool......I'm in the NE part of the state and have some light pollution....amazing how much light emits from that armpit....
But if the word was they were being seen I'd take a ride NW of me for a better chance at seeing them  ...... |

Saw it twice in the last 4 years. Once I expected to see it, the whole sky was red/purple/blue. The next time was in 2004, as far as I know it wasn't predicted, I was out with redcrbbr and it was insane the whole northern sky was alight with fingers of color, it was breathtaking. |

I have seen it more than a half dozen times to one extent or another in the past 8 years. Twice off Nantucket, several times off Q, once of MV. Only times I've seen it has been after that solar activity, and usually cool to cold evenings, no wind or NW wind (clears the air?) ... Last time I saw was last fall at Q - never expected to see it in New England but you can...

When I was still working winters up North I'd see them going through Pinkham Notch super early AM.
Booger, you got a prime day for next week? I might go hunt for some lightless areas to do some long exposures.
