+Bilder Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 I have gotten a couple emails the last day or two about the Aurora and how to best see it. I am not an expert. I am barely an amature. But I thought I would post a couple sites that are useful: Aurora Index Has a map area with viewing tips. Aurora activity forcast- UAF University of Alaska Fairbanks site. Space Weather.com Sunspots and aurora information. NASA Name says it all. There are more sites out there. These are just some of the ones I have used. Best tip I can give from personal experience for viewing the aurora is this: GET OUT OF TOWN! City lights will greatly diminish the viewing. Get out of town. Preferably get to a spot up high with a good northerly view. Sit back with a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have never been lost. Been awful confused for a few days, but never lost! N61.12.041 W149.43.734 Quote

+Renegade Knight Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Is there a locationless for this? If not there should be. Quote

+Doc-Dean Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Alas I am too far south to capitalize on this spectacular event. Just have to settle for fantastic sunsets every night... sigh.... -------------------------------------------- Free your mind and the rest will follow Quote

+carleenp Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 It is cloudy here so I'm out of luck tonight. pika waving Quote
+PeachyPA Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 What an amazing sight in tonight's sky; it was all glowing orange. You'd have thought we were in SoCal, but this is western PA. Awesome! PeachyPA Quilter, Cacher, Cubmaster Quote
+Team Lyons Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 We are here in Eastern, PA where it's fairly populated and well lit. I believe I'm seing a pinkish hue in the sky to the north. Is this my imagination or could that be the auroa? The color is really faint. Quote
+Bilder Posted October 30, 2003 Author Posted October 30, 2003 Green, pink, red, blue and purple are aurora colors. Green-pink-red are the most common. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have never been lost. Been awful confused for a few days, but never lost!

He said locationless, there is no trading at a locationless cache just a picture to prove you were there. Like this Quote
