Good morning to the group.I was out until 12:45 a.m. at a relatively dark site, without seeing an aurora.
Anyone have better luck? Best wishes, Joe
I kept an eye on the SEC kp indicators and the promised CME collision just never happened last night. Everything was quiet until 1:00am. Checking the Space Environment Center current kp index at 18UTC (12noon local time) http://www.sec.noaa.gov/today.html#satenv and the Costello index for 20:45 UTC (2:45pm) - http://www.sec.noaa.gov/rpc/costello/index.html the kp index is climbing up past 7 kp. The short answer in English is the aurora generating CME collision is happening, unfortunately, it's during our daytime. - Canopus56(Kurt) __________________________________ Yahoo!
