keeperofthehorses,
I understand from www.spaceweather.com that their is a very high likelyhood of auroras again tonight. This time they are saying that skywatchers "everywhere" should be on the lookout for them as the X1 flare is directed straight towards earth and that means that places that rarely ever see auroras could have a chance to see them tonight. They were saying that the southern states such as AZ, CA, ect might be able to see them also.
From what I understand, the best viewing times are normally around midnight of the local time for that area.
I am going to try to get some pictures if the hubby will let me make a commotion in order to set up my digital camera and tripod. (I have to go down the road as I am on the back side of a hill and would make it difficult to see) Now if only I didn't have to work tomorrow... I would go up to one of the high mountain peaks and look from there.
Happy skywatching!
