>>> POTENTIAL AURORA ALERT!


 

========

AURORA ALERT. No less than 5 Coronal Mass Ejectas are heading to earth from the large sunspot group I posted yesterday. This has the ?potential of being a severe geomagnetic storm and hopefully dazzling displays of Northern Lights tonight.

Hi,
Do you have any recommended sighting sites in the Ottawa/Gatineau area?? Gatineau Park seems a good site if you find a clear north view.

Thanks,

Hello Darwin,

One of the parking lots areas in Gatineau Park would offer a great view. ?I am just not sure if they are still open after dark

Any park, field or quite rural road away from streetlights should do quite well. ?I would recommend starting to look for auroras as soon as it gets dark. ?If there are clouds or a lull in activity, try again in an hour. ?Auroras can change from quiet to full sky display very quickly, sometimes in a matter of minutes!

Lets hope it clears up!

Pierre


 

Thanks Pierre. I guess you a thinking on P16 (Meech Valley). ?

Darwin

As usual - clouded over here. Hope it clears before this ends.
