Looks like we're not going to miss just the comet. Maybe an auroral display too. Earlier today I received the following from SpaceWeather. Grumble, patrick +++++ A magnetic eruption on the sun during the early hours of March 15th hurled a coronal mass ejection (CME) directly toward Earth. NOAA forecasters estimate a 70% chance of polar geomagnetic storms when the CME arrives on March 17th. High-latitude and possibly even middle-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras this weekend. +++++ On 16 Mar 2013, at 19:52, Chuck Hards wrote:

Totally cloudy, like all week.
It was perfect this morning. Sigh. On Mar 16, 2013 7:42 PM, "Dave Gary" <davegary@me.com> wrote:
I haven’t seen Panstarrs since Tuesday and it doesn’t look as if it will happen tonight, either. It’s been cloudy down here the last few days. The photo opportunities are passing me by. Is it any better up north?
