Mountain moon rises in the North Cascades.
Also trying to incorporate more timelapses at the expense of mosquitos in my shots haha

What happened last night is something that I thought was only a dream. The strongest aurora ever, above the Dutch windmills. I still can't believe this was real. Captured after midnight in The Netherlands.

Absolutely biblical skies in Tasmania at 4am this morning. I’m leaving today and knew I could not pass up this opportunity for such a large solar storm. Here’s the image. I actually had to de-saturate the colours. Clouds glowing red. Insane. Shot on Nikon. Rt appreciated
Umbraphile Level 2 Achieved!
Got to stand in the moon’s shadow in northern Vermont revealing a 360-degree sunset and visibility of the sun’s corona for a whole 3 minutes and 29 seconds!

A few #aerochrome visions of #Patagonia last month. Finally crawling out of social media posting hibernation.

Some insane aurora we saw over Gimsøya on 12/14/23. You can see how fast aurora actually moves in the iPhone video. Sorry for me freaking out haha
It was Wild to see the northern lights dance with my own eyes. – at Norway

Last night’s big geomagnetic storm yielded aurora just outside Oslo. Thanks to @_SpaceWeather_ and @Vincent_Ledvina for all the good information that helped us out. – at Oslo, Norway

lol what does this graphic mean?
Green = overhead
Yellow = crazy overhead
Red = inside your head?
Hi friends from Oslo/Norway!
I’m in search of a scenic location outside of Oslo with clear views of the northern sky less than an hour's drive from the city.
I'm hoping to see the Aurora when this big geomagnetic storm hits tomorrow. 🤞💫
Please send your suggestions! – at Oslo, Norway

California friends, if true, you might have a shot at seeing the aurora from a dark place looking north near the horizon!! – at Oslo, Norway
Note that the view line here is very conservative. Kp is not a good measure of auroral visibility at mid latitudes. We may see reports as far as the U.S./Mexico border if/when the CME hits and if it has a favorable magnetic configuration. 😊

Gearing up for a massive geomagnetic storm tomorrow night!! Fingers crossed for aurora! – at Oslo, Norway
IMPORTANT PSA FOR TOMORROW'S EVENTS:
DO NOT use Kp for trying to find out how strong the aurora is. Kp is:
1. a three hour average (smooths over bursts of aurora)
2. a recording of PAST geomagnetic activity (tells you what happened BEFORE you look not in the moment)
3. a global, averaged measurement (aurora is not the same everywhere on Earth)
Kp is literally useless for real-time monitoring of the aurora. Please refrain from posting screenshots of your app with "But the Kp is only 3 and it's overhead..." or "But the Kp is a 7 and I don't see anything..."
The Kp can't keep up with an intense storm where substorms are happening causing intense bursts of aurora and spikes of geomagnetic activity, aurora might be in recovery (no visible signature even though geomagnetic activity is juiced up), there could be SAR arcs/intense reds pushing visibility equatorward...
Your app is going to fail you tomorrow if all it tells you is Kp or spits out a % chance viewability based on OVATION Prime.
Instead, look at:
1. Social media reports
2. Webcams: theauroraguy.com/pages/webca…
3. Aurorasaurus: aurorasaurus.org/
4. AE Index (> 1000 nT): wdc.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ae_re…
5. OVATION Prime (> 70 GW; not great since it's an empirical model, but it uses solar wind, so it's not AS bad): swpc.noaa.gov/products/auror…
6. Local Magnetometers (too many to list)
7. Hp30 (Kp but every 30 minutes; not great but good if you are scared to leave the Kp 1-9 paradigm): kp.gfz-potsdam.de/en/hp30-hp…
