Northern Lights Photo Op Tonight?

9 years 7 months ago - 9 years 7 months ago #401542 by PT Talker
I don't get a lot of time to read the news these days, but the news of a massive solar flare always catches my eye, so I checked it out. If you're lucky enough to be in the right place tonight and over the weekend, you may have one of the best chances ever to shoot some amazing displays of the Aurora Borealis, assuming the astronomers are right. I'd love to see some shots here if anyone is out there with their gear!

I missed the real show by about 20 minutes, but I did get this shot at about 10pm.
