Northern Lights and the Big Dipper

[finnbay]

My black lab was barking out the back door and lo and behold, there were the faintest hints of some northern light. My wife got home a bit ago and said "yeah, they were really dancing a little while ago!" Well, by the time I got set up there weren't much left, but I got a little taste. Wondering if Stu had a better look up north across the big lake?

I'm up on Rainy Lake this week Ken and I saw them....WOW. I did get a few pics but missed the peak! I will post a few when I get home.

I'll be anxious to see them, Dan. I'm hoping they'll re-appear later this evening.

Just checked NOAA and they predict very low activity over the next few days. That might have been the only chance for awhile. Rats.

Ken, nice work!

We're in a low cycle overall for sunspot activity, which is what generates northern lights. Like ruffed grouse numbers, sunspot activity is cyclical, and we're in a down year.

Look forward to seeing anything folks have to offer.

Here I thought northern lights were a thing of the past.

Nice ones Ken! No, unfortunately I missed the opp. Next time I guess!
