Is there a time of night, Alaska time, that is best to see Aurora?

That’s pretty neat! I’d love to see bright auroras like the image one day, hopefully in other colors too. Regardless, it’s such a magical experience.

I envy you during such a wild time around the solar flares !! Gorgeous photo.

Gotta ask OP, could you see colors with the naked eye?

I saw the northern lights for the first time this week. My camera could see the colors so well, but mostly looked white to the naked eye where I was! Sometimes a pale green.

pls don't swear my dad uses this pc

Hijacking this thread to ask how Anchorage is? High high chance the spouse is getting a job there. What’s your favorite and most hated part?

Beautiful

Does it really look like this in person?

😍 beautiful

Dude this is straight out of the lord of the rings. I feel an intense need to go there.

I'll never regret naming my daughter Aurora 😍

Oh man, that sounds awesome!

Hadn't thought about that, but I kinda see it!

It was! Around the 10th I believe. Highs around 60F and lows a bit below freezing.

Not that it matters a lot, but was this really October? There’s a distinct lack of snow and ice on those mountains.

I was getting Ithilien vibes

Great photo. I imagine seeing this in person though is beyond amazing.

What counts as elevated for solar wind?

Every time I try to dig into aurora forecasts and reports, I just end up getting overwhelmed by all the different metrics. I wish one of the services would just do a "heads up, likely aurora tonight or tomorrow" notification, but instead it's all elevated Kp this and solar flare that.
