RASC Hamilton Active - was Re: Aurora Alert...

[scott barrie]

Hey Colin,

I suspect I was too early. Found a pretty good spot a mile or two east of the Guelph Line about halfway between 401 and Highway 7.  No house lights and not too much skyglow. Horizon could have been better.  Would love to see your pic.

It was really had to spot - only to the north, and very very low to the
horizon. Camera caught it - no color visible to the eye, due to sky glow,
light pollution etc.


I'll try to sort through photos and post one somewhere.

 Drove up north of
Milton around 11:00-11:30 last night. Sky was clear - woulda been a good
night for observing - but didn't see a hint of aurora.

Aurora is just barely visible here near Milton. Not sure if anyone
down in Hamilton can see it - pretty much down low near the horizon,
faint green.


Cheers
