Re: Re: [Utah-astronomy] More on aurora
Bill, Can you send me your pictures of the aurora? My skies are too cloudy to see anything. It doesn't look good for tonight but I will take a look this evening. How long were your exposures? Debbie

Thanks for the heads up Josephine. Got your email and went outside - cloudy. So checked on the web and it looked like the clouds would end at about the Idaho border. Loaded up the cameras and set out. Clouds started to break about Ogden and the aurora was visible from about Brigham north; but I thought it was more clouds so we kept going north. Stopped at a rest stop just north of the border where I finally figured out it wasn't clouds in the north but the aurora. Pulled over just north of Malad and we were treated to a great show. At the peak the aurora went from Cygnus in the northwest to Gemini in the northeast and up over Cas overhead. Reds and greens; ray and waves; quite a sight!! Spent about an hour up there taking watching the show and taking pictures; then clouds started moving in from the southeast and we came back home.
Thanks again
Bill B.

Hi friends, I just drove to Little Mountain and it was so cloudy that I don't know if I saw any auroras. There were unusual bands overhead where it was otherwise fairly cloudless and some bright places to the north and east. So I shot a roll of film on the basis that maybe my eyes weren't color sensitive enough at night after driving -- if there were any auroras I think they should show up on the film. Did anyone else see anything? thanks, Joe

Debbie: The digital's will probably be on the web tonight. The film shots will take a couple of days to have processed and scanned. I'll post a url. Bill On Nov 8, 2004, at 10:59 AM, <astrodeb@charter.net> wrote:

Hey Bill, give me a call, OK? I'd like to quote you. Anyone else who saw 'em, pls call too. My pics turned out!! Joe Bauman 237-2169

Just got this from the Aurora newsgroup: <<<Our next impact prediction assessment is available at: www.spacew.com/cme It is based on the latest available SOHO LASCO data, which suggests that the velocity of the disturbance was higher than was initially thought. As a result, it is probable that this disturbance will arrive much sooner than originally predicted. Probably tonight sometime for North American observers. Also, it is worth noting that it has the potential to produce some disturbed levels of auroral activity. The mid-latitude auroral activity warning remains in effect for tonight.>>> And from the referenced web site: <<<Updated: 22:05 UTC 08 Nov (5:05 pm EST, 08 Nov) Geomagnetic and auroral storming is expected to resume following the arrival of the next solar coronal mass ejection disturbance. It is expected to arrive within the next 6 to 12 hours. Solar Activity Update Additional major solar flares are possible from Region 10696 over the next 24 to 72 hours. >>>
This is the page I used to decide to head north last night: http://www.cmc.ec.gc.ca/cmc/htmls/clds_vis_e.html If I'm reading it right it doesn't look good for cloud cover tonight. Bill B. On Nov 8, 2004, at 3:54 PM, Josephine Grahn wrote:

Bill, what is the equivalent ISO, for us dinosaurs who still use film? Thanks, Joe
Joe: Nice article in the News this morning. And a great photo, good work. The equivalent ISO was 100. Do any of you dinosaurs know a good photo lab that processes E6 daily in SLC? My shots from Malad are sitting in a drawer in a lab and won't be done until Friday. They do good work but the wait is frustrating this dinosaur. Bill On Nov 9, 2004, at 8:11 AM, Joe Bauman wrote:

Hi Joe How did you upload those photos?? Cynthia says there's a drop down menu but I don't see it and can't find it and I have a couple things I'd like to add to my page. Mahalo Rob
I had a problem too. I sent Cyn a note and she set up a new login and password. So that might be the way to go. Yokwe yuk! -- Joe
Hi Joe I also requested a new but similar login/PW but still no luck. does this drop down appear after logging in?? yukwe yuk Brah Rob

Hi Everyone, My address is 4527 So. 1175 West Apt. 85 Salt Lake City, Utah 84123 I have talked to Cynthia and she has reluctantly agreed to put a Pay Pal link on her site. This would now be the best option to donate to her cause. However, I will continue to forward the donations I receive to her and she will not lose the commission to Pay Pal. For those nervous about sending the checks to me, Pay Pal would be a good option. Thanks to Joe B., Chuck and the others. I will get your checks to Cynthia by the weekend as I am working off site for a few days. And she may yet post her address to mail any donations direct to her. Thanks to everyone for your generosity, ___________________ Mark Knowlden GeyserGuy@comcast.net

Hi All, A quick note to let you know Cyn's new photo system works great! I just uploaded my own relatively anemic aurora photo. (Too many clouds!) -- Best wishes, Joe
